On these cars suspension work will net better lap times with all NA mods combined.:tup:

Only if it's set up right! A friend of mine was running Zeal Function-X coilovers on his 350Z in TTB only to have one blow two years ago shortly before NASA Nationals. He threw the stock shocks with 60,000 miles on and went faster. :P

It would be very hard to prove. The impact that eventually caused it to snap could very well have been a long time ago, and it slowly weakened over time eventually cracking all the way through. Or it could be a casting defect. To prove it conclusively enough to get some kind of compensation you would most likely have to send it to a company that does materials analysis and see if they would do something like that. I've got a buddy who works for an oil and gas related destructive testing company, and it's the kind of thing they do but usually on a much larger scale for a much larger price tag.

exactly. I'm better off just paying the $500 deductible and getting her back on the road. I'll be approaching Nissan with it but doubt it'll go kuvh farther. USAA has also decided on their end its not worth it for them either. At least at this point in time

^ yea pay the deductible and call it a day....

That part should never snap like that, imagine if you are on the highway! Glad that it was low speed. However, I think if you take this to Nissan, they are gonna blame on the aftermarket parts (285 RS3, coilovers, more aggressive alignment, blah blah blah).

Actually my alignment was in spec at this point in time. -1.4 camber in front and -1.6 in the rear but yeah, the aggressive tires and coilovers would be their argument. It's an impossible argument to win even if it had happened right in front of them.

People are worried about the SPC arms slipping? My situation, the spindle arm broke before the arm slipped lol. :roflpuke2:

PM the info please.

That spindle has been broken twice before on these forums with different years...

Links? He might use that as ammo for nissan.

The other was a result of hitting a kerb at Laguna Seca iirc.

i know one was high speed track related but mine... 25mph TRYING to make a right hand corner that it never began to turn on....going straight for the loss. Not even my Project Mu pads stopped me with 2 front wheels facing 2 different directions...

So we're expecting them to actually be out this time? I mean, we've heard comments like that before. Never with a pic, but until I can click "add to cart" I'm going to be skeptical.

Goodness, that looks amazing......
