    Love your set up! I see you went with all Apex Engineered components. I did pretty much the same but kept the stock control arms which I media blasted and powder coated. I had my rack serviced but all my internals were good. Are you planning to use Apex steering knuckles as well? I'm very happy I did. Love the steering feel now. I have an electric Z power steering unit which was previously dialed almost all the way to max assist until I changed my components. I have the dial turned only half way now and it feels much more like a modern sports car.

    I have the whole Apex set up on my Z I was going to sale the rears and go with the track attack but decided I don't need all of that.... for now lol

    Thanks for diving in NV.  Can you provide all the specifics on the rims and tires? Maker, model, 4 lug or 5? And the tires as well. I'm running old school 305-50-15's on the rear and 265-50-15's up front. When this set of tires are gone there are no more. I'll need to jump up to 17's.

    Thanks Rio i have the spec on an earlier post feel free to message me if you have any questions also.

    Would love a review on the Apex Eng stuff! I see a lot of advertisement on FB, but not many personal responses.

    That would be nice since there's hardly any feedback on it, ill be ordering a set of the front rear arms and I can review the quality and install but not they work since my z will still be down till summer :(

    I love what your cooking up there NV with this build. I was wondering how others go with such wide tires on the front. I want to run 255 fronts on my set up but will most likely run 245's with camber plates, coilovers  and adj control arms. Nice work!!!

    Thank you sir its been a long road to get her where she's at but hopefully she will be on the road this upcoming summer and going to shows with her. I will probably stay with 245's unless I am feeling froggy and will make 275's fit.

    I have 315 on my rears and 275 up front.  I will be going with the Apex Eng stuff at the beginnig of the year but for now I am on stock stuff except for my coilovers.  I am toying with 335s but not sure yet I want to see how track adjustments come out with  the new set up. 

    I got my inspiration to run wide tires with your car I love it man! I want to run 275's up front but with the 245's im already rubbing up front. I am also looking at the apex stuff and am just waiting for the fronts to come out so I can order them together. You're running way more power than my sr20 will be putting out for a while so that's fitting

    Those are going to look great!  

    That's a really tight fit - does that tire really clear the flare on full bump?  Also, it sounds like you are already on it, but you're probably not going to want that much camber back there.  Make sure that the arms that you get will have enough inboard adjustment to allow you to pull the tire inward to get closer to zero camber - don't know about the two that you are looking at, but they are often more focused on increasing track width than reducing camber (most setups have more room to spare in the wheelwell than you are going to ;) ).  You're likely going to want to do the adjustment at the a-arm rather than via a camber plate,  since adjusting it at the top of the strut will push the tire even farther outboard.

    yea im on it lol I wont be running this much camber I havent adjusted the camber on my coil overs and will be getting all the arms so will get a alignment when all installed lol its just sitting there I think it should clear full bump but we'll find out haha.

    AWESOME! I want to build a set of wheels like that so bad! I've been looking for a used set of 3pc to bolt bigger lips to but hard to find and lots of $$$. Totally worth it though when you have a Z and your tire size starts with a 3....:rockon: Thanks for the inspiration. 

    with my wheels and tire set up im at around 3k they are aren't too bad if you get a ok set and build them yourself.

    TTT ones are H-arm, AE are A-arm with toe link. 

     

    The TTT ones are track width and toes adjustable on car, but there was some talk of binding and stress given how they achieve that.

     

    The AE ones similar to our the ones made by several on the forum are only toe adjustable in the front instead of in the rear, I think there was discussion saying the front toe-link may be better for load path, but unsure, the rear toe link setup is nice because you don't have that kink like they do with the front toe link. The rear one looks to be non adjustable on car as in you would have to remove the spindle bolt to adjust it. Not really a problem once you have the track width set, but if you have to adjust that your alignment guy will be annoyed with you, my guy told me it was kind of a pain to get the tracking just right because you would have to disassemble the strut from the arm and check every half turn. 

    Good to know now to make my decision

    Any users have this kit installed with their supplied camber plates? Did the installation on a 71 240z and with the coilover threaded all the way down into the tube the front is almost stock height. The original strut was chopped and less than an inch was remaining when the tube was welded on. All arms have travel and are not stuck on anything. Funny enough the rear is only threaded into the tube 2 inches and is way lower than the front. The springs have zero preload and aren't tightened more than hand tight.

     

    Anyone run into this? Talked to a few people who had them and they have so much more height adjustability than I do in the front. The coils are the older stance super sport and are the same length on all four.

     

    Thanks!

    Yeah I have mine installed with the camber plates and did not run into any issues. But I did install mine on a 280z which shouldn't cause a problem. I still have a good amount of adjustability up front too

    MEATS!

     

    That looks awesome! Holy heck that is a lot of tire. The fit is perfect for your setup. What arms are you using? Look like wheel center line is moved back slightly. 

     

    I am still on the stock arms trying to make up my mind on which to go with, I'm thinking about APEX engineering. I haven't adjusted the wheel center at all.
