yup you gotta replace the spring perch with a new one to fit the threaded collar.... here's mine with the ground control collar perch that came with my kit

ok so for back spacing on the watanabes... i at least need the spacer to put the hub flush with the caliper (s12 toyota caliper). let me know what you can do? and how much it would be?

^i would want to say they are but i dont think rota came with a 15x10.5 wheel... the widest they go in 15's is 8?? i could be wrong. hmmm. i'm determine to find out now.

^haha

watanabes to me look at sig... let me check my stamp on my wheels

do you sell the spacers needed to extend the hub out farther to fit wheels that have a small back spacing?

I second thaat how long does this sale end? Just wanted to make sure that I can get the nessesary parts to fit my wheels on the calipers.

interested! you've got mail...

that thing is dumped... holy crap. one of the lowest i've seen on the Z

i got them off!!! and replaced them with the new bushings!!! thanks for the info guys!

thats perfect thanks a lot! i remember going to that site a few times, but i lost the link. thanks again!

diamond racing wheel... have a lot of combos for wheels.. they look sexy on a 240

awesome... thanks for that tip, do you have any photos on how you did it maybe?? what do you think of shaving down the bushings to fit??? i'm guessing not a good idea.

i've been searching, no luck... time to cut then.

oh i see ok... so these collar?? how did you get them to come out???? did you need to press them out???

hello Z peoples, I ran into an issue today with installing the front control arm bushings on my 71 Z. It looks like the front control arm bushings supplied by Energy Suspension doesn't fit my control arms? The bushings diameter is too large to fit through the mount hole? Its not even able to be forced in? The sleeve provided fits fine for the bolt to go through. I read through the parts list and made sure I had the right bushing number that's imprinted on the bushing itself. (bushing #3060 and 3061, front control arm) One thing I found interesting was that there was another set of bushings that look similar to the front control arm bushings? They fit perfectly snug into the mount hole but the sleeve is too small for the bolt that goes through it??? Another issue was that the bushing part # was not listed in the list of bushings provided with the full kit. (bushing #4066, unknown bushing) I was wondering if anyone had experience with the Energy Suspension Bushing Kit? Has anyone ran into this problem and if so what did you do? I called and spoke with a tech from energy suspension but he told me that the bushing were correct for my model Z (71 240z). I am seriously thinking of shaving some material off the bushing to fit the control arms?!?! but i don't know if thats a good idea??? Any help with this is very much appreciated, and thanks in advance!!!

still interested man! please let me know on any updates on the bumpers!

that break clearance is nice and fit! looking good man

isnt this the wrong section for this question?

any word about the struts?

Thanks man... I know that fronts will go to the rear. I am going the same route as you with zg flares. Do you have enough travel in the struts with the lowered height with the perch collar welded where it is? And how low you going with your ride height? Sorry to ask so many questions man... just asking you with your experience.

oh i see, ok gotcha man, that make sense. Did you section just to the "inserts" or did you leave some space in the tube to have some extra play if needed? You have 10in springs right?

go to the contact info from the watanabe website and then look for the warehouse location here in the states. You'll be able to order through the phone. The guys name is kiyo... cool guy to work with, You can tell he's Japanese!

hey got a question about your sectioned struts? what stuts did you use (ie mr2 struts)? and how far did you place the thread perch collar down the strut tube? Having a little comfusion with my ground control install on my strut sectioning.
