do you have a ball park figure on how much the whole set up cost you?/

Around $475. I saved money by picking the parts up at Rich's in Danbury. I've got friends in Bethel so I was up that way anyway.

I had to buy tools which was OK cause I needed them (torque wrench, 6 point sockets, air socket, breaker bar) I used my new compressor and a borrowed impact wrench to break the 17mm bolts free (made it easier). I did end up rounding off one 14mm nuts on the the drivers side upper control arm bracket(It was seized good and I could not get the airwrench on it and slipped off of it with my breaker bar etc...). Nissan still had the nuts and U-bracket available for about $10 total so I just grinded off the nut and bolt with my dremel tool and installed with the new nuts and bracket.

There are "How To" links on: 300xclub.com that were very helpful and the service manual gives you all the torque specs for the bolts.

This was my first time doing suspesion work so I was not an expert when I started and still am not, But I learned somethings and can offer some suggestions if you give it go.

powertrix is having a sale on supension parts. I just bought my adjustable front cambers for $289 including shipping. I also was able to buy a set of spl front tension rods and eibach lowering spring for $200 from a guy on TT.net. I can't wait to put them on next week or when the weather warms up. will post some pics.

does anyone know when summer is going to get here!!!!

Yes, THE DAY AFTER YOU GET YOUR Z READY!!!

So I had my Z aligned with the New Front Adjustables. Feels like a whole new Z. Very tight in the front end, tracks straight, corners as if on rails on rails. I do feel the road a bit more but that's OK. And I have lost the front wheel vibrations after the re-balancing. I'll watch my tire wear to see if it improves.

I would highly recommend these for any Z32. Call Rich at RDZ300 for great club prices or to have him put them in.

I also installed a rear strut tower brace last weekend.

Keith,

I upgraded my suspension just like you did, but noticed that the car hits the bumps a bit hard. are you having the same issues or is it something i'm imagining?
