    loose v8 280zx rear tokico suspension

    in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis

    Posted

    thanks every one for the replies ! ok so i've tried going through that same corner with some falken azenis 615k 195/60r14 in the rear and same thing happened, the  rear starts to come around. and yes the rear breaks loose :/ i wish it didnt. i know those are still skinny tires, i want 17x9 with at least 255 tires in the rear when i can afford it.

     

    Why will removing the rear sway bar help my problem? im gonna try it, but i'd like to know how that works.

     

    haha and there arent any loose live wires in that car... they are all for the engine. i do have to do ghetto stuff to make my windows work ha. im very lazy when it comes to wiring. i'll clean it up one day :)

    hey guys i'v been looking on line for answers to solve my sloppy rear suspension, i have the tokico lowering kit 'springs and blue shocks.' i have a 5.3 lm7 with a saginaw 4 speed trans. stripped interior ' no dash' and new 195/70r14 tires, and new poly bushings all around. the set up feels alright when im cruising around and in straight lines but when i start going 65ish mph through a long fast turn i feel the rear wanting to spin. 

     

    1) I wonder if my car is unbalanced since i have the v8 up front and only the fuel tank in the back?i did position the engine as close to the fire wall as possible when i made my motor mounts. 

     

    2) And if its not because of weight distribution is it because i dont have the correct spring rates for my set up? what would you recommend on the springs F and R ?

    I used F body header on driver side . Had to cut steering shaft in half and added another joint and carrier bearing , still very close to . That's why I'm going turbo . forward facing manifolds .

     

    You won't have any problem with GTs or Camaros . With my stock setup , I was able to keep up with 2010 GT500 convertible ( heavy car , even with 550 HP ) . Mine is a lot lighter now too . No HVAC , no bumper reinforcements .

     

    Not pretty but it works . Joint angle is maxed .

    BTW , I sold the 83 T5 for $500 and the turbo motor for $400 . :-D

    All chevy v8's have the same bell housing bolt pattern since 1955. i put a old school 4 speed behind my 2002 5.3 lm7, it bolted up perfect! i just used an after market hydraulic slave and master cylinder clutch from southwest speed , i believe  they also have the kit for a t5 tranny. they come with spacers for the slave so its guaranteed to fit right.
