Posted December 18, 200816 yr comment_269150 hi, i want to change my 260z suspension parts to feel my car like new, so im thinking in buying the tokico shocks&springs kit with Energy Suspension HyperFlex Master Kit, so my question is:what do you think about this combination? and what other parts do you suggest me to change to feel my suspension like a new car?ps: my english is bad so i apologize Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/30277-new-suspension-on-my-260/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 18, 200816 yr comment_269193 IMHO, the combination is good with a few changes for a street driven car:1. Use stock rubber bushings when replacing the tension control rod bushings.2. Use stock rubber bushings on the outer rear lower control arms (where they meet the rear strut housing).3. Be careful about how much positive caster you dial into the front suspension when using poly inner control arm bushings. Its easy to bind the front.4. Replace your ball joints, tie rod ends, engine and transmission mounts, steering rack boots, and differential mount while you're working on the car.

Also, is there an easy way to check for bind on #3? I'm running EMI camber plates.

July 1, 200915 yr comment_288519 I guess I missed his questions. I keep the rubber outer bushings on the rear LCA for street cars to reduce road noise.
