Glad you like em :)
I've just shipped out a small bundle of these, should be arriving end of the week for those that ordered! I also had a bunch of thin stainless spacers made (think of them like small-OD washers), they are included with the kit, punched from 1.8mm stainless, some coilover bottoms are a lot narrower than they should be... http://responsetype.com/shop/silvia-...strut-adapter/ Reducing washers to use S14 front coilovers on S13 for even more mixing'n'matching fun are in stock too! :) http://responsetype.com/shop/silvia-...-12mm-inserts/ |
Got mine in last week. SPL sphericals showed up yesterday and i installed them today. Will be installing the entire setup this weekend or next week. Hard to find an alignment machine that i can fit on or that uses adapters that dont grab the outside of the tire.
|
Good stuff... when installing, mockup the bracket on the coilover to get the alignment angle for the slug, ideally once you've set your base camber and approximate toe with the arms.
|
Anyone know are the s14/s15 upright bushes the same size OD as z32 300zx uprights?
as I want to do this swap and I have some spherical bushed s15 uprights and hoping I could press them out and reuse them in some z32 uprights And I'm liking that solution for the coil-over mounting, nice idea imo :) any chance you could post them to the UK? |
Bushings should be common with s-chassis, turbo uprights being hicas...

Not bad, I have some laying around in my garage, might consider installing them :)

Well, I was told by several know-it-alls that this product is a waste of time pursuing... makes you wonder how many people have been dissuaded before me eh?
Aren't you glad I didn't listen? :) |
So are they still available to buy?
|
Yea I have a new batch of brackets coming (didn't make equal quantities of everything), but still have plenty in stock... fire away! :)

Got mine in last week, I must say I'm impressed with the quality of the kit. Was a breeze to install and didn't take too long. I've yet to drive on them but I figure I'd post pics of them installed.

Yeah I would love to buy a set
|
If you get a set of Z32 uprights, make sure you get the spacer that is used to connect the ball joint to the upright...

Still available? PM sent. I would like to make an order ASAP to try these out versus cut and weld my new coilovers :cool:
|
When is someone going to go widebody (a q45 subframe perhaps?) with these? :)
|
Alright so a bunch of you have these now, show us (me) some pics! :)
|
Thank you for the PM with install instructions! I haven't installed mines yet but will be sure and keep this thread updated when I do!
|
Glad i saw these. I was about to remove the z32 uprights from my s14.
Will be purchasing within a week I recommend you advertise through the site or other companies. I was lucky i just happened to stumble on this thread |
|
These look dope!
Might pick these up soon. |
for kicks, I have a pair of Z32 Koni sport dampers to sell. The sport dampers are fine for 6, 7, and 8kg/mm spring rates we often run.
|
|
How are you guys liking these? From the guys who have driven on them, is the bind gone like on an S14 knuckle or is it still present (like using Z32 knuckle on S14)? Thanks!!
|
You see the pic I posted last?
You can clearly see the near side, where the adapter matches the inward tilt of the coilover body. On the far side you can see the misalignment from the upright mount to the coilover body is not a problem either. So far I haven't received any complaints, just questions... |

Jimmy I got these on my s14. Install was cake. I'll let ya know how they ride when I'm road worthy
|
I just got my uprights prepped and ready for your inserts. Could you pm me with some of the install instructions. I will post up some pics once mine are installed. Gonna do a step by step, if you think its needed.

You should have the upright installed and the coilover hanging from the tower with the spring perch loosened all the way...
1. attach the steel bracket to the coilover bottom loosely 2. raise the suspension to approximate ride height 3. push the steel bracket flush against one face of the upright's strut mount, with the tabs perfectly centered over the hole, find the radial orientation of the slug, mark the upright in a way that makes sense to you 4. then find the best offset combo, bracket leaning forward or rearward, the slug's head on the front or rear of the upright, aim for as much clearance between toe link and axle as possible 5. remove the upright, press in the slug at the correct rotation from the correct side... freezing the slug overnight and using wd40 will help (many uprights go out-of-round, may need a quick buzz with a dremel flapper) 6. reinstall the upright, raise to ride height, loosely bolt everything together and inspect clearance through a range of motion 7. torque everything down or re-adjust as needed |
