Mike kZ Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 I used a Street/Strip suspension made by Jeg's. They were called Jegster S/S Bars. They are a great suspension for cars with low ground clearances like the Z. Now here's the bad part, I haven't seen them advertised in the last 5 catalogues or so. I would call them and ask if they still build them at 1-800-345-4545. The old part number is 550-41001, $299.99 for the bars. Front mounts, track rod,shock mounts, were extra. So are the coil over shocks. P.S. instead of using the track rod as is, I shortened it and used it as a Panhard rod. It attaches on the top of the dif, on the passenger side, over to the drivers side of the frame. This holds the rear end more stable. I also tilted the top of the coil overs 10 degree inwards / . This will help the car handle better. I did narrow the 12 bolt, and mini tub the wheel wells by cutting them in half and adding 4" of metal per side. I also took out the strut assembly and bracket that held it in. I also built new frame rails in the back to accommodate the shortened diff and suspension. I'm running 15X10 wheels, and 295-50-15 tires, with about 1" on each side for clearance under the stock sheet metal quarters. I'm not sure if the Jeg's set up will handle better than the irs, but with my 12 bolt I don't have to worry about breaking anything! The only problem is when I did all this I did not write down any measurements. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 thanks alot for all the info. i hope to start soon. when i first got here i had nowhere to put the car. trying to get it here now. having some serious withdraws. i was checking out the four link in competition engineering where you can give them your measurements and they will make the frame to your specs. not sure but i believe it might sit too low for that though.

BLKMGK Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 Part number comes up as a "special order" item on the JEG's site. I'd say it's probably still available but might take awhile. Love their WEB site, wish it gave availability of items like Summit's does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
