Question Which multi-link suspension do you use?

There are quite a few manufacturers making these arms nowadays, but which ones do you prefer?

Cusco, Kazama, Tanabes....
i used all of them before and currently use Tanabe arms/swaybars/coilovers....all awesome quality/contruction...the welds are nice, the adjustment bolts are convenient...the rubber dust boots are a bonus, the ball joints seem to be very high quality and havent had any noice complaints, no fitment issues.....ALOT better than most of the "US" brands....Although SPL parts are extremely high quality as well

I like ebay hoo-has. I got RUCAS, bump stear, and toe rods all for 200 shipped. The RUCAS are the solid circle design to, which I feel is a plus.

I'll just make an echo....

Kazama, Nagisa Auto, Cusco, Tanabe are nice, all the above are beefy. Buy anything else and you're getting what you pay for, i.e squeaky crappy bushings.

SPL has good price and good reputation as well. Their website will tell you prices.

Thanks for the responses guys. There's definitely no shortage of arms for the 240SX, and everyone has their own preferences for price and ruggedness. We ask because we are the US importers and distributors (we provide most of these parts to the shops you go to) and are representatives for both Kazama and Nagisa Auto.

Sometimes people request us to bring in the Nams lower control arms for the 240sx, but is anyone using it?

If any of you guys have any questions, about Kazama or Nams parts, feel free to ask us, we'll be more than happy to answer or ask them directly!

Kazama and Nagisa rule, the Kazama RUCA's can be substituted for a billy club in case you gots to beat someone down. BEEFY and very nice finish.

I've been patiently waiting for my Nagisa pricing :ahem:
