1995 is perfect, same year as my last one.... so alignments shouldn't be an issue.

just let me know what you want to do...

my work....










final stance, prior to sale..



yeah, all three 240's were mine at the time, wtf is wrong w/me?







not trying to whore out my old car, just showing that i'm one of the few people who've been there, and had everything, and worked hard to dial it all in, not some drift kid messing with alignment settings with "eyeball" spec settings.

That looks SICK!!!!!!! I love the stance that your car has/had. I don't have the lower control arms but I have everything else. I would like to add those eventually but for right now I can't swing the dough. PM me for some details. What wheels are those and the sizes too???

yeah, i think i had it pretty dialed in, was still high/comfortably enough for DD, but aggressive enough for the track.

LCA's aren't needed to align the car like mine was. here's another car i did the suspension on, Stance GR+'s, full SPL RUCA's, Toe, and Tension arms, with Nismo power brace.





wheels were the Rota P45R's, 18x9.5 +30, 255/40 rear, 245/40 up front IIRC.

This works out well for me as I'm here doing office type stuff a lot and the lift sits vacant.
this guy's got a pretty good deal here, i could come down, get what you need done in under 2hrs shop time, aligned in the following hour and your car would be done.

hey guys... Im also running the Godspeed rear lower control arms right now, I tried to install them this past sunday and I actually snapped the bolt when torquing it down... I noticed when I was installing it was that the bolt doesn't go up all the way way in the hub and I cant get the eyelet to show so i can put the top cotter thru, so idk if I was doing something wrong or if they are meant to be that way?
