suspension?

I thought this was a brake question... why would you wanna swap suspension for?

I think you just need any type of Z32 shock or coilover if you use the Z32 spindles but as far as the rest of the rear suspension you can just use the 240SX suspension components...your choice.

Rather then me detailing the Z32 brake conversion, here's an excellent writeup at this site:

well the thing is, if you look on the z32 knuckles which i'm swapping over as well because i was the 5 lug. ( z32 is more available around me than a 5 lug SE hug) and the stock suspension in the rear is a kind of slip on piece. rather than the z32 sspension which is fork type. and i can't just use z32 aftermarket suspension because the front shock has 2 thread screws rather than the three one the stock 240 that bolt up to the pillar. so i'm trying to find a suspension idea or something that will work. i've searched everywhere and finally decided to ask the knowledgeable people here.

This is one of the most commonly discussed topics. If you want to use the 300zx spindle, you will have to either get coilovers with the correct mount or buy 300zx rear struts.

If you don't want to buy all that, then just bolt the whole brake assembly to the iron 240sx upright.

BTW, we have a bunch of write ups, and the first thread I came across searching "300zx brake" was probably better than Al's at Importnut.com (which has been linked on NICO a hojillion times)

thats what i'm asking about. i don't know of any companies that actually make that type of coilovers with the 300zx rear mount. i'm sorry i should have made it more clear. the real question is what companies make those types of coilovers? thats what i was wondering.

SPL Parts makes a coilover that you can order with the correct end. JIC FLT-A2s can be had with the proper end.

This info is out there, you just seriously need to look.
