Post your suspension setup.
Nothing special now, But I plan on building my suspension before I really get into building the powertrain up.
KYB AGX Struts
Tein S-Tech Springs
SPL Subframe Bushings
SPL Adj, TC Rods
Tein Inner & Outer Tie Rods
Rear Suspension Techniques Swaybar

H&R Sport springs (1" drop),
KYB GR-2 shocks,
Suspension Techniques rear sway bar,
Welded rear control arms (active toe elimination),
1/8" spacers front and rear,
Ingalls FastCam front Camber Bolts,
16x8 FD Mazda RX-7 Wheels, 14.4 pounds,
Hankook Ventus Z212 R-S2 225/50/ZR16W
I want to upgrade to aftermarket rear front control arms because I did the active toe elimination welding poorly and it would give me more tire clearance. I also want to upgrade to some sort of coilover setup. Right now it would be Koni Yellow/Ground Control but I'm hoping there will be a better budget option where the springs and dampers are matched before I'm ready to uprgrade (could be two years). I want camber plates and hopefully some sort of increased caster. The plates Road Race Engineering sells can be ordered with extra caster built-in at a fixed amount. My brakes will be dual piston calipers from the 93+ Eclipse AWDs, stainless lines, stock rotors from Discount Auto, and Porterfield R4-S front and back.

'97 240sx SE
Current:
-Megan coilovers, 8kg/6kg, shitty 32 way adjustment
-Energy Suspension front and rear anti-roll bars
-JGS semi-solid motor mounts
-SPL Parts poly tranny mount
-Greddy front strut tower brace (Cusco OS style)
-SPL Parts T/C rods
-Moog tie rod ends
-300zx 26mm aluminum 4 pot calipers, OE 280mm x 26mm rotors
-Axxis Metal Master pads all around
-SS brake lines; Speed Bleeders all around
-SPL Parts subframe collars
-J30 viscous LSD
-----
Future/Yet to be Installed-
-Swap out Megan coilovers for KYB Adj. struts and Eibach ProKit springs
-Swap out JGS mounts and SPL mount for Nismo motor and transmission mounts
-Upgrade to Hawk HPS brake pads all around
-Tein tie rods and ends; new rack boots
-Moog front ball joints
-B13 Sentra (91-94) ball joints, used for rears (1mm larger base, but fit fine)
-Energy Suspension steering rack bushings
-Energy Suspension Master bushing kit (contains the following
--Front and rear sway bar and endlink bushings (only portion of kit I won't be using)
--T/C rod bushings (will be swapping out SPL adj. rods for OE rods)
--Front lower control arm bushings
--Rear lower control arm bushings
--Rear upper arm inner bushings
--Rear uprght bushings
Changed plans to accomodate fun, quality handling while maintaining the civility of a street car. Replacing all multilink bushings will result in a correct alignment devoid of slight imperfections caused by old bushings. Only bushings not to be swapped out are rear differential bushings, which are in good shape, and the subframe bushings, which are using SPL Parts collars on to lock in place (as Nismo units are entirely too expensive and solids not only require alot of work to press in, but would be too harsh).
*Note: B13 Sentra ball joints are used on the rear lower control arms because rear ball joints are not available seperate, and require the purchase of a whole new OE RLCA, which retails over $100. Using the 1mm larger Sentra ball joints works perfectly for 1/3 the cost, and there are no issues with using the 1mm larger base (c'mon its 1mm lol).
