spec-bre Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 While the engine is out I wanted to address the front suspension updates and upgrades. All new Moog ball joints and Rod ends were added Experimental engineering TC rod end kit 1" front sway KYB's David Carrols pitman arm kit The modified 510 struts were swapped out for ZX units using the same GC sleeve kit and 250lbs eibach springs Datsun parts outlet slotted ZX rotors Relieved/clearanced ZX stock calipers and brackets 3/8" spacers to aid in any possible clearance issues New Timken sealed bearings Lower LCA camber bushings to aid in 7" 0 offset wheel clearance (note: I have had zero of the rumored issues I have been warned about with these camber bushings) GC SX camber plates up top Cusco Strut tower brace Steering box brace I believe that's all the upfront updates.
