Front and rear suspension. What to get/how does my list look.

Seriously, let me know if I'm going about this all wrong lol I'm new to nissans.

I'd like to get some advice before i "drop stacks", I have a VH45 swapped 1990 240sx that has some beat up old stock suspension, the idea is to go with 16x10 or 16x9 and I would like a decent amount of adjustability, I know 10's might seem a bit ridiculous so I'm also fine with 9's. Here is a list of what I imagine I'll need to gain adjustability and replace very old stock suspension components.

Front Tension Rods, Rear Upper Control Arms, Rear Traction Links, Rear Toe Links and adjustable front lower control arms.(brand choice unknown at this point, is ISIS good)

Also replacing a old set of HKS hiperD drag coilovers with some BC coilovers.

Any thing I missed? Braces, bushings? Is there a master list on Zilvia some place?

Thanks!

Don't need the adjustable front lower control arms.


Change the rear subframe bushings instead along with all the rear arms that you are changing.


Possibly a nismo power brace or something similar, a couple places make copies of them.

Either replace bushings in stock FLCA and RLCA or just buy nismo units that have the nismo bushings installed already. Nismo power brace, front/rear strut bar, sway bars and end links. Really depends on how far you want to go with the bracing, there is a shit ton of options.

[QUOTE=BossHogg;5916832]http://www.splparts.com/

when i first started buying suspension arms years ago i went with full spl. a huge change is quality and control when on the track and the local mountain. i recently crashed mine and smashed my passenger front side. after looking at it all, spl didnt even bend or brake. yeah spl is more expensive but i trust there reliability hands down.
