I know my name starts off w/ SR, but it's more of a front as of now and i've been short on cash and my plans are taking way longer than expected. My 180's a '89 and it's pretty beat up(got it for cheap). I've got tein flex w/ EDFC, got my strut bars, got a rear tanabe sway bar, currently working to finish my R32/Z brake F+R swap, bride ergo I seats, OEM Nissan HID's, Kouki Tails, Work wheels.

I'm debating to go w/ the SR next, cause the motor is having issues, or else to get more suspension parts, cause as i said the car is old and parts seem worn. If you suggest suspension parts, which parts and brands are the most essential, cause i don't want to wait too long to get my motor.

Also, who makes sway bar end links?

Thanks for all your input!

i think you can go with Energy Suspension for sway bar endlinks.
pretty cheap.
i think you should do suspension first, personally.
get the adjustable arms and whatnot.
SPL parts is good shit.

Are the energy suspension end links the actual end links, or just bushings for the endlinks??? If they are the actual end links, how necessary are they?
thanks

Depends... you say your KA is having "issues".... if its real old (hi miles) and beginning to show signs of breaking down save for the SR. If you save for the SR however, plan on having about $3800.... if you are gonna do the swap yourself, have about $2800 on hand (you can get a good COMPLETE SR20 and tranny for about 2200 or less... labor costs about 1200, then you need about $600 left for extra parts that may be needed).

My plan was to do suspension first, and I did, M's adj Shocks, Cusco TC rods, Strut bars, In car sway bar, brembo rotors, walbero 255, momo course seat, Sparco rims greddy exhaust, and VLSD . So I had a nice solid chassie that turned on rails. I preped the chassie for the motor, but then I sold everything but the wheels in order to get the motor. My friends all made fun and called ma "backwards man". But since I did not have a job and the motor I got was a rb26, my only option to be able to pay for all the crap was to become the "backwards man" .
