[NoDrifto]

[Lt.Mike]

Pilot f&r stb, eibach pro's, koni yellow's, subframe spacers. Thats it for suspension for now

It was crazy, I searched and found this. http://nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=82502

They also tend to stop violent wheel hop alot too

[Meantime]

RS*R Race Springs, AGX, GReddy rear STB, Nismo brace, BV tension rods and the stock HICAS swaybars.

Next up: subframe spacers and RUCAs.

[Veriest1]

Check out my cardomain page... it's in my sig.

Edit: I have SPL tension rods and JIC Tie Rods as well but neither are installed yet.

[NoDrifto]

whats the drop on the rs-r's? fr and bk

anyone know what ther stock sway bar is on a 89 fb?

[Meantime]

RS*R states 1.4" front and 1.2" rear, but mine are more like 1.75" front and 1.5" rear after a couple thousand miles.

The drop is just about perfect - aggressive without being slammed or scared to death of speedbumps.

[Onizuka]

So just because I own a sexy coupe im excluded? Man you guys are elitists.

-ksport 32way springy dampy thingies-broken right tie rod in leaky steering rack (because random toe out and steering shuffle rocks)

Just ordered today-nismo powerbrace (+5hp for "power" in the name)-nismo tension rods-jdm us-spec replacement steering rack-pilot STB's

[rico05]

Subframe bushings preload (by compression) the old rubber bushings making them deflect less, effectlively making the subframe mounted more stiffly to the unibody. I noticed more rear end stability on decreasing radius turns with a slight slip at the rear. THe car used to kind of float or rock on the subframe (shifting in its own chassis if you will), now I can't feel any weird weight shift. Kinda nice. Oh yeah...Rest of the list:

-Nismo S-Tune coilvers-Tein inner/outer tie rod ends (spacer installed)-ProjectSilvia PB T/C rods-JDM K's 21mm rear sway bar-Whiteline endlink bushings-Nismo front STB-Falken Azenis Sport 205/50/15EDIT:- I also have a set of Cusco front strut upper mounts sitting in my garage. I wanna put em on and take a few pics of -3^ camber before I go get an alignment

Some sort of bushing kit is in the works. Maybe.

I'm a sil.. but the suspension is the same anyways... so here goes..

JIC Silver Coilovers with adjustable camber tops on the front, and pillow mount thingies..

Front and Rear Strut braces.. made by a local firm called C-Red Tuning they have a site.. http://www.cred.com.au but i think its beiong updated atm

[Onizuka]

I read alot of aussie car mags (mostly because they are nirvana compaired to ad-loaded us mags), I've seen some C-Red tuning cars in them (specificaly HPI). Great stuff.

[240sxHitman]

Tien S.tech,KYB AGX, Greddy F&R Strut bars,Suspension tech sways(not installed yet)

But im planning getting Tien HE's eventually

wtf is up with your inner wheel well? it looks like you fiberglassed it.

[Clatch]

RS*R Race Springs, AGX, GReddy rear STB, Nismo brace, BV tension rods and the stock HICAS swaybars.

Next up: subframe spacers and RUCAs.

Do you have a picture of your car after the drop on your RS-R Race Springs?

[574-240sx]

Probably the angle or something. It also still has the stock fender liners that need to be yanked out and the harness pinched between the fender and frame. I have too much stuff to do and no time to do it.

[Meantime]

Not yet, but I can post one shortly after I borrow my g/f's digicam.

Sorry, I'm still in teh stone ages here...

[NoDrifto]

some people said tokicos but i never really liked em....too rough i use kybs now and not too shabby RS R is sounding good anyone have experience with eibachs?

thanks for the info......gives me some new ideas

[cheez80]

i have rs*r of some sort; the guy i bought them from said they were race, but they drop 2" more than other people's rs*r races, so i'm assuming the coils have been cut

those are on ohlins shocks

ebay spl front stb

and soon nismo? front camber adjustable pillowball mounts (not sure if they're nismo or not; seller said they were, and they're a nice red color)

[NoDrifto]

hard to tell with ebay stuff......i guess try to get part numbers and match them up

[rico05]

$5 says they are fake. Nismo is real good about putting their logo on stuff (I mean, even the springs on my S-Tunes say Nismo and my STB has Nismo cut into the mounting brackets) Plus the fact that Nismo never made R-Tune parts for the S13 (thereby little chace that an R-Tune part like pillow ball strut top mounts are availible for the S13) Hence why I got some Cusco ones

[DammitBobby]

I have a custom spring installed on my ride. Yes it is lowered and it handles GREAT!! Best part about it it is FREE!!

[NoDrifto]

nice bend

[dres240]

I have waiting to be installed on my 91 FB:

KTS CoiloversTCSportline RUCA'sSPL Tension RodsSubframe SpacersS/T Sway Bars

Still need to get: Rear toe rods, traction rods(do i really need these?) and tie rods i think..

All i have on right now is F+R strut bars

[sensibleS13driver]

tein s-techs, tokico blues, tanabe sways are nice too

[boost_creep]

kyb,eibach sporlines,strut barsthe ride is sweet..not too low

waiting to be installed:whiteline torsion rod bushings,sway bar bushings

[Project S13]

Tein coilovers and cusco strut tower bars are all I've done for now.

Currently looking into solving the wheel problem (front wheels will occasionally lightly run against the very bottom of the tein strut so spacers and/or new front wheels, after that it's either hicas cancel and clutch lsd to replace my vlsd or perhaps I'll look into an sr20 ::

[NoDrifto]

camber adjusting bushings maybe? from pdm maybe it can help or is it just the rears they make
