'92 Z for stance - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm in the process of replacing my lowering springs with coilovers and want to make sure I get all of the important suspension bits taken care of too. The car has about 128,000 miles, and I haven't driven it all winter. What are the most important components for me to consider? I want it pretty low when I get the coils on.

Probably gonna need FUCAs, RUCAs, toe rods, tension rods to be able to get a decent alignment.

I'd check out Powertrix's suspension kit. Decent price and they come with FUCAs, RUCAs, tension rods, and traction rods/toe rods (or whatever the non turbo equivalent is). He runs lots of group buys so it may not be hard to get in on that.

When I had my 92 twin turbo coilovers done (got Powertrix coils too), I had that kit put on, a HICAS delete, sway bars, all new bushings, adjustable end links, etc.

Powertrix coils are probably what I'm going with since they have a good group buy deal going on now. I'll look into they're other suspension parts as well. Thanks.

Whatever you buy, just don't get the AMS crap lol

Also, a lot of guys prefer the Z1 FUCAs to the Powertrix ones, since SPL still hasn't released their revised part. If you're made of money you can buy all SPL

If you're going for stance then I wouldn't go with Powertrix. Don't get me wrong, they are very very good coilovers but they are valved and designed specifically for track/spirited street use. My point is they won't go as low and you'd probably like. They're definitely not a "stance" oriented coilover. All of their connecting arms however are great. I run powertrix everything except for the rear toe rods because they have a straight design and when going low they tend to hit the subframe mounting point caps.
