December 31, 200915 yr comment_304651 Hmm now those look good also... Only problem is they are unavailable?.I suspect that just means Brian doesn't have any on the shelf right now. I'd drop him an email. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34266-techno-toys/#findComment-304651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 31, 200915 yr comment_304672 NZThis is the first time I've seen these but with precise adjustment capability they will no doubt be fine. Take a look at www.arizonazcar.com. They offer a billet aluminum tension rod with the same precise adjustment characteristics although a tad more pricey.2MUCHZ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34266-techno-toys/#findComment-304672 Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 31, 200915 yr Author comment_304703 I've had the Techno TC rods on my 240 for 3 yrs now and have had no issues whatsoever.It has allowed me to get 3 extra degrees of caster as well.Thats really good to hear... How is the car on the street? or is it? So far Im down to two choices.. the one Arne suggested or the TT's... I found out that Brian at ZCC is selling his sets to Hybridz guys for 190 shipped... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=152585 .... so i might go with them instead of the TT's if Brian will get back with me.

January 1, 201015 yr comment_304765 My friend went wild and bought nearly everything that T3 makes for the Z cars except for the rear diff conversion. The front control arms and tension rods are very stout. He is still working on the coilovers but I would definitely consider Techno Toy for my own car after seeing what he received. Other friends also use Gabe's AE86 stuff and they are not easy on their cars running drift, grip, and skid padZCC has some nice looking products too, I don't have personal experience with them though (I have them book marked though) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34266-techno-toys/#findComment-304765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 1, 201015 yr comment_304797 While not currently on the road (snow, salt, ice - oh my!) my 240 gets driven about 7,000 miles a season and those are mostly hard miles. It is not a daily driver and is set up pretty close to a track vehicle. I would raise the ride height, change the tires and remove most of the interior to get it to that stage.Car sits low, rides on 275# springs and Tokico HTS shocks set at the mid-point. Camber is neg 1.5 front and 2 rear. Corner balanced within 50 #s front/rear, side to side and cross.Hard to tell what the addition of the Techno TC rods did other than allow for more adjustablity but I did get an extra 3 degrees of caster and it turns in very easy. I made too many changes last winter to the suspension for me to pinpoint each change to an immediate effect on how it handles (before and after).
