freekwonder Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Haven't posted in a long time. But finally got some head way on my Dime (I did spend a year in Iraq so I didn't get to work on it much), but got majority of my suspension and wanted to test it out. Front end consites of 280zx struts with ground controls. Techno toy tuning T/C rods 240sx camber plates Top Motoring lower control arms kit (got the parts from them, did the modification ourselves). Rear is modified crossmember and top motoring coilovers. I do have the old front struts with brakes sitting in the engine compartment to simulate some weight, but we know they are not the same as the KA24 and tranny. All the way up About half way down All the way down All the way up Rear coilovers Whole car. Front about halfway down, the rear about 1/4 of the way down. Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Nice. On your Adjustable Tension Rod units ( T/3 ), are you using bushings or are you going w/o any bushings? Jaime.________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment

Jaime.________________________________________________________ Thanks guys. As for the t/3, I'm running with out bushings. I bought them from Top Motoring and before I put them on I asked about that and they said you didn't need bushings with them. So I'll give it a try lol. Quote Link to comment

I got the same TC rods, I am putting the front end together this week. I was told the same by the guys at T3, no bushings. I was thinking about using thin Derlin washers, just to keep any noise from ever happening, and harsh metal to metal contact, or even thin rubber ones. What do you think, since you already have them in place? Jaime._________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment
defdes Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I have been driving them hard for years, no noticeable noise to speak of tho my car is pretty loud with the headers and induction. Quote Link to comment
