What is needed to setup my suspension

Hotrodz · 07-10-2017, 07:07 PM

I'm no wear near an expert like my buddy Rusty and a bunch of others on here. Read the thread Rusty linked you as it has a bunch of great stuff. This was my first year tracking and I learned a ton by doing and tearing $hit up. It is a rush and I can't get enough right now. Good luck and keep asking questions!

I've been tracking my Nismo for about 5 years now. This rabbit hole that you are about to go down into get $$$$ the deeper you get. But it's fun as helll!

Yeah & Don't forget you got more than 2x the factory RWHP/TQ than a stock Z!

I might lose him on the straight. But I'll still pass him on the brakes.

You are probably right there getting better all the time but with so much power coming into a turn braking is tricky to early most of the time and yes the instructors or group four go fast go fast guys eat my lunch in the corners. I will get there...

We got 5 groups. Group 1 Newbies with instructor. Group 2 with instructor. Group 2 Solo. Group 3 crazies. Group 3 open wheel. I'm in the Group 3 crazies with their race cars.

Nothing like getting passed by a Nascrap Stocker, or a Ford GT 40.

I do have a set of coilovers on the way (greddy x kw) so I still want to make sure I can get the allignment setup properly at the very least. On one the threads that was linked it said I will also need lower control arms for the front. Would it really be necessary for now? Or will I be able to survive with front and rear control arms + lockout eccentric?

This is exciting and expensive so I wanna just go in to explore this new realm without having my bank account punch me in the face overnight

You'll need upper control arms, not lower for the front. Depending on how low you go with the new coil-overs. As to what is needed for the rear. You might need only toe bolts. But going farther. Camber arms.
