Re: New rotors and shock/springs
Can you understand that you alter the suspention geometry too much? When the car is that low, a small travel in suspension will cause too big of a change in the alignment of the car.

Re: New rotors and shock/springs
THats why they make correction pieces to help with that crapola. It depends on how hardcore you want to get into it to correct the downfalls of what happens.
for example "When the front suspension is dropped, the altered suspension geometry can result in bump steer - the suspension steering itself as toe changes when the suspension travels over bumps. Adjustable tie rod ends can restore the correct geometry of the tie rods and reduce bump steer, by adjusting the length from spindle to pivot point on the tie rod end." Get properly aligned for how you drive for your preference of lowness. A good alignment shop or race specialty shop should be able to tell you do and donts for this type of stuff.

Re: New rotors and shock/springs
every dollar Chuki has spent on his suspension is justified, and i bet its gonna ride like its on rails when he gets it to that point...
sure if your dailyin your car to work and back, you dont need all of it, but if you want the best handling setup they are a must have... and with coils you can lay frame, but you dont have to, Stance coils can ride higher than stock by an inch or two if thats what you like, and it still handles better than shock spring combo, no matter how you want your setup, 800 dollars into coils beats 600 dollar shock/spring in every category except ride quality, but not even my gf bitches about ride quality!

Re: New rotors and shock/springs
I'll most likely have to get a camber kit, won't I? Another little peice of the cost I wasn't thinking about.
As far as a z32 brake swap, do you have any more info on it? I also remember reading about swapping to the z32 hubs? Trying to remember it was a post from awhile ago.

Re: New rotors and shock/springs
you wont NEED a camber kit, im not gonna get mine right away, but it will be high on my priority list following the Stance Coils this summer...
and for z32's up front you dont need the hubs, out back you may i havent looked into it yet, thats another high one on my list... http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm <---all you need for brake job

Re: New rotors and shock/springs
But with any spring/shock setup I go for I would need a camber kit.
With the z32 hubs, I may not need, but I may want them, since I hear they're slightly lighter weight. I'm pulling from memory of reading that post. I really don't have time to search the forums for it right now since I'm at work. Anyone got any honest websites to buy any of the shock/springs or coils etc?
