Hi,

I'm now 3/4's of the way getting my Zed to 100% mechanically sound. Last thing is the front suspension. Decided to replace just about everything, is there anything else to consider apart from these? I don't have access to a ramp, I just know these are on their last legs from driving it, and i'm a mechanical idiot.

ย 

shocks; fecked

springs; must be fecked

camber arms; squeak like an old pram

ย 

I'm half sorry i'm asking this, but I really want to get the car as close to "NEW" as possible before i do anything else.

Hi there, get a nice set of KYB AGX shocks and Eibach springs and then speak to Smithy and he should be able to sort you with some adjustable upper link arms

and tension rods.

I'd go for the Koni Street pro shocks. They are a better quality ajustable than the KYB's and only a few quid more. If your really serious though then go for a Tien coil over set up, They will cost serious money though. I've heard good things about the new whiteline coil over kits. These are about ยฃ600 for a high quality ajustable coil over set up, but i've no experience with them.

or if your not bothered about adjustablity then New Stock shocks with Eibach springs are a great setup.

I'd also try Chris at GetGReedy or Courtesy Nissan in the states for the ajustable front camber arms. Then see who's got the best deal.

Your car will handle better than new then.

How did I do that :confused: :confused: :confused:

you may also want Urethane bushes for the steering rack & lower control arm.

Could also look at beefier anti roll bars
