Default I got to try out my suspension setup this weekend:

This weekend Regina and I installed the mattback SPL non adjustable height sus setup that i had planned for the 300SX. But since the 300SX isn't running, how did I test drive this??

By installing it on her car, of course!

Overall, the entire swap took the larger portion of the afternoon, as I had to un-install it from the 300SX, and install it onto Regina's 13.

the setup consists of:
FRONT:
Energy Suspension TC Poly Bushings S14
AGX Front S13
RSR Race Spring S13
Cusco Camber Plate S13

REAR:
AGX Rear Z32
RSR Race spring S13
Aluminum Upright Z32
RUCA (Project Silvia) Z32
Cusco Pillow Ball mount Z32

I'm pretty sure that's all of it, and the dampers are set to maximum stiffness to make the ride as responsive as possible.

Holy awesome batman!!!

While this setup is as expensive as a good coilover set, you get the same amount of performance and then some with it. Plus, you can run a much wider selection of wheels on the front.

The ride height isn't slammed, but it doesn't need to be. It's overall 7/10. i would rate he's at 8/10 and flt a2s at 9/10.
the flt a2s are smoother because of better dampening but the he's will just feel much more responsive. i love the he's actually. the one car i rode in that was flt a2s i went down a bumpy road and it just i dunno, it didn't feel as responsive. i really like this setup however, and its +++ in my opinion. great for a street car.

i mean, we can't all afford aragosta's

hoa! it was actually fun to install. i learned a lot of stuffs.

i really like the ride. i haven't ridden in many 240's with suspension though, so my opinion doesn't really count in that aspect. it does count that i am NOT riding on blown suspension any longer and i am driving the car and i really like it. if possible i'll be purchasing this suspension for myself.
