HumanoidThe23rd Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 what are my options then? Quote Link to comment
BJW's FiveTen's Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 What do you want to do? The trouble to use any of that stuff is not worth it. Easier ways to get disk brakes and better rear coilover options. The 280zx struts won't fit in the rear tower and the geometry of the rear arms is way off. Do a search on this fourm and this question has been asked many times. I used the R200 from a 280zx and thats it, and its over kill but I like to beat on things :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
HumanoidThe23rd Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 For sure. Ill do more research and figure out what I want to do. All I know is that I want coilovers, better struts and disk brakes in the rear. Any suggestions? Thanks Again Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Depends how cheap you are. The nice option is aftermarket coil overs. There is a write up in the how to section to use subaru struts and ebay honda civic coilover kits if you're cheap. Quote Link to comment
HumanoidThe23rd Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yeah I want to go as cheap as possible. Lol Ill have to find that thread about the subaru struts and honda coilovers. If you could shoot me a link to the thread that would be awesome. :D Edit: Nevermind I found it. :0 Thanks Bud Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Lower control arms from a 280zx will bolt to a 510 crossmember, but you are not gaining anything and really there are more CONs than the 1 PRO. Quote Link to comment

flipsteresis Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 So congrats on the new rear disc brakes - if your old drum brakes fit a 83' maxima 810 wagon - I would like to chat about the whole assemblies - need internal parts... Quote Link to comment
