deja Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I have run into a snag on my rear disc install. I have a 280ZXT rear suspension but am keeping my 77 280Z R200. Apparently I have two choices. I can keep my 77 280Z u-joint halfshafts or go with the CV halfshafts from the ZX which I understand are stronger. But if I go with the ZX pieces I need adaptors. I have seen them on http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=5 Modern Motorsports. My questions are do you guys thinks its worth the trouble and expense going with the CVs? I don't plan on dong any major racing with my car. And if its worth while do you have another option other than Modern Motorsports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 If you aren't pushing a lot of horsepower and you don't plan on dumping your clutch (if you have manual) you can probably get away with the u-joint halfshafts. If you're going to be driving it hard it may make sense to go with CV's. I think this is one of those things where you get what you pay for. If you want the extra strength you have to pay the extra money. I'm not aware of anyone else selling the adapters other than ModernMotorsports.

deja Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Thanks Bartman, pretty much what I was thinking. Its not so much money as it is time. Motorsport has no phone listing on their site, I have emailed them. Hopefully they will get back to me soon. My car is in pieces and I can't leave it where it is for too long. I guess I didn't do enough research on this one. I've gone the "cheap" route on stuff like this before and regretted it. Hot roddding....its always something, LOL.
