KROz Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 After a long bit of thinking and researching, I decided to go all out and buy myself the Megan/Mchkinney coil over kit for my 78'. I have compiled a list of other things I plan on doing while the suspension is taken apart, but I don't want to forget anything that might be easier to replace/upgrade at this point, or anything that I need to replace to accommodate the kit. My list so far: Mckinney Coilover kit Wheel Bearings Suspension Bushings U-Joints Wheel Seals Undercoating Techno Versions Diff mount Toyota Front Brake Calipers Paint engine bay/under-fender area Modern Motorsports Brake Brackets 240sx rear rotor and calpier Brake lines and other hardware for both front and rear Exhaust Tubing/Muffler for L28et Some kind of LSD (probably will wait on that though) Rota RR-R 17x8.5+4/Tires That is what I have written so far on this piece of paper, strike outs indicate things I have/have ordered. So while I'm at it, what other possible things could I/should I replace? The car is going to be street driven mostly, with as much auto-xing as I can do of course, if that is important to note. Thanks, Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Kevin. The the LSD should be the first thing on your list. It is the most important thing for fast lap times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KROz Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 The the LSD should be the first thing on your list. It is the most important thing for fast lap times. I need to research them more before I spend money on one. I don't understand them well enough and I need to figure out which will work best to throw into an open r200. I wish I hadn't been in middle school when the "power brute" group buy was going on. Which LSD would you recommend with a 650 dollar budget? I'm thinking my only option other than raising the cap on that budged would be to get lucky and source a z31t diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Your options at that price point are to luck out and find a cheap used Z31T (probably junkyard at that price) or the OBX, which needs to be inspected before running to make sure it's assembled correctly.
