-TORN- Need suspension and rear end help with what to do!!!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Im torn over what to do with my suspension and rear end, thus need all of your great input.

 

My goal is to have a nice solid suspension and rear end that will stand up to driving on our lovely CA pot'holed streets, and also handle lots of track days too. Id say 40% street / 60% track time. The car is a 71' 240 with a 350 chevy @ 400RWHP and 376RWTQ thru a 6 speed T56 tranny

 

Some of my current parts on hand are as follows:

 

ZG flare kit

280YZ flare kit

AZC 6 piston front brakes

Tokiko 5 way adjustable Illimunias

All new ball joints

All new tire rod ends

Ground control coil over kit front and rear

 

None of these parts are yet installed, which brings me to a cross roads and you to your suggestions / erperiances!!!

 

I could throw thousands of dollars at this thing and have a fabrication nightmare on my hands and end up unhappy with the results, or keep it more bolt on and be happy with the extra dough in my pocket.

 

What to do, what to do???

 

Things Im thinking aobut are:

 

Beta Motorsports camber plates

MMS 4130 steel 5 lug rear stub axles

Wold creek racing CV conversion

Beta Motor sports Koni shock conversion kit

R200 CLSD

AZC rear controll arms and mustach bar

Will 280ZX front and rear strut assemblies fit???

Will a 280ZX front crossmember fit?????

 

 

 

I would like to keep things under 2,000 and be done before the summer days arive (Track time).

 

May be its just me, but figuring out what to do next just drives me crazy, I dont want to get anything wrong!!!

 

If you have a moment to suggest or share thought, please chime in!!!

 

Thanks all!!!!!!!!

 

Pete

There's been a heck of a lot of talk about most of these subjects in the past 3 or 4 weeks. I think the only thing you need to know is that the ZX stuff won't work. Aside from that where you choose to go from there is up to you. Search and read and you'll find info on every single part you're considering.
