Fed Up...(but for a diff reason)

[SR20Fastback]

Well I have my spacers still sitting on the floor of my car, but judging by everyone elses posts about how well they are.. I want more!

I really want to find some more semi inepensive suspension mods. I've considered the sway bars for 280, and that would normally be a little too pricey for me, but Im going to get them anyways.

Does anyone else know of some 100-150 suspension mods?
What do you think of them? Who did you get them from? Ease or difficulty of install? Satisfaction?

This should be a good thread, if you all participate &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

first off, i would cut my springs, (free)...
then i would holes in my sway bars and put some super gule in there for extra stability, then i would...well i dont know, if anyone has anything to say of value...i'd like to know too, being the broke ass that i am.

280 for sways?! &nbsp;Ehh...seems a bit high man...give Adam Hume a call at Stillen: 1-800-576-2833 &nbsp;Ext. 138

I got mine through him a little while back for around 240-250ish shipped. &nbsp;Tell him you got his extension from the 240SX Car Club.

well i hear polyurethane bushings increase handling slightly but also detract from ride.

i believe nismo makes upgraded rubber bushings.

if you dont have strut bars than get on that. pilot strut bars, if you go close to the source adn cut out middle men are cheap as hell.

$52 canadian i can get them for at canadian tire, just like pepboys i guess or something like that.

you'll be very satisfied with those

I can't think of a suspension mod that doesn't detract from ride comfort.

cheap mods that i'd recommed 1st are sway bars and new bushings. &nbsp;t/c rod bushings, tie rod bushings, and sway bars will come with all new bushings for those. &nbsp;Strut towers bars are pretty cheap and are said to be a good chassis stiffening mod. &nbsp;That's about it for the cheap stuff tho...

project silvia sent me a rear strut bar for 65 shipped
and procarparts got me a front one for 20 bucks i think
good luck

I would have to say that STBs probably don't do much... I would save those 100 dollars for something more useful like bushings or anti-sway bars.

Even better... to be completely honest, I wouldn't bother with any suspension mods until you get springs/shocks or coilovers in there. Sure, you want cheap mods, we all do, but put the price of springs, bushings, STBs, subframe bushings, TC rods, etc etc and you can buy a spring/shock setup that would give you so much more.

Since your shocks and springs are the heart of your susp, it is, in my experience, useless to do anything if your most important part, your shocks (not so much springs, I guess) are shot. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/dozingoff.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':zzz:'>
