Right now the aim is $1500ish for knuckle, FLCA, tierod - all bolt on. Z33 hubs would be the only thing needed.
The uprights are modular, in that you can swap out steering arms for different levels of ackerman/and steering ratio. SAI is also adjustable via the upper strut hole mount.
It would offer a large amount of roll center correction("perfect" amount for someone with ~3.25" to their framerails), and has adjustable shanks for more, so if you feel the need to push your FLCA into your wheel, you can do that.
The brake bracket is also modular, so you can go from Z32 calipers on Z33 rotors, to Wilwood FSL-4 calipers on 12.2" rotors, or Z33 rotors all with just a bracket change on the upright.
Tie rod setup is adjustable for bumpsteer.
The FLCA are also designed around rod end adjustable sway bar endlinks, since the stock ones are utterly horrible.
So that's about it, not trying to go overly commercial with this post, as it's basically a still-born project at this point. Snce it'd be a one time run more than likely, it's more a "this is what it could be" post. People talk about their interest, but no one is really willing to pony up the cash from what I've seen.
I realize it's a lot of money to drop on suspension, but if you piecemeal things you're not too far away and you're probably running on modded stock spindles that may or may not be setup for what is good for your car.
I'll make a deal with the 240SX community, if two people come forward with REAL interest and this goes through, if they agree to it I'll post up my fully moveable roll center analysis for the front of an S13 to give people an idea of what is actually happening with their car and the forces acting on it as the suspension moves. Who knows... might happen.
