Questions About Front Lower Control Arms - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I was looking into upgrading my front lower control arms on my S13. The bushings have worn out and the arms are looking kind of sad. I was thinking about the PDM set up w/ the Whiteline bushings preinstalled. However, I saw that Battle Version has a weld on extender that does away with the bushing all together and replaces it with a pillow ball. See it here. But that seems like an aweful lot of money and work (I don't own a welder) What's the best route on replacing/upgrading my front lower control arms?

i would go with stock arms and polyurathane bushings if your worried about money, i would also try and box the arm like the battle version does or like nismo, otherwise go with battle version, just take to welding shop they shouldnt charge more than like 20 bucks,

upgrade the bushings, or go for a whole lower control arm.

PM me if you are interested in a set of custom lower control arms,
they will be gnarly as hell

I was told that I can use S14 flcas on my S13. I would be widening the track so that it would inherently run more negative camber and also give me more turn-in. Is this correct?

Only with S14 spindles, or if you press the S13 ball joint into it.

And to one of the above posters: Nismo does not make adjustable LCAs. Cusco makes a set that's like the Battle Version but it's premade and not janky as hell like that site shows.
