i need instruction to install coilovers. i havent install any coilovers before. and i m sure at some point in your life you receive information on how to install it too. Nothing wrong with asking question dude

Anyway, SPL makes a mid link... if you use the stock coil version of these coil overs. If you utilize the true coilover version of this then talk to TOPSPEED, otherwise, you could search Z1motorsports.com they have an ENTIRE section for suspension.

Kintex, SPL, stillen. I have the kintex setup and they're pretty descent. Almost went with GSP (godspeedproject) but the Kintex were a better deal as well as less susceptible to fracture. Be thorough when looking for the arms, some people have seen them snap, see post #6

You know, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, G35 drivers still DO serve a purpose

The outbreak of n00bs on G35Driver has made modding tedious to say the least I almost banned somebody the other day just for not searching

Well i did a little bit of searching. The majority of what i found is the traction rod. And alot of people call those the toe arms. Although they do not delete the spring bucket. I did order the arms from george,but he sent me the traction arms and camber arms. NO spring bucket delete arm like I asked for. I have seen the SPL one's and they look great..I am a noob to the 350z world. I just wanted to make sure I order the correct one this time.. Also Does anyone have a picture of the Topspeed coilovers assembled in the true Coilover style for the rear? I want to make sure I have them assembled correctly.

So i guess that the sticky( suspension 101) i read and many others is wrong when speaking about what a toe arm replaces...., and your correct??? LMAO

REAR - Camber and Toe:

When lowering the Z – lets talk 1.0 to 1.5 inch drop:
You will need rear camber arms and rear 3 degree toe bolt at a bare minimum. ---> everyone buys the SPC toe bolt...

Here are the two rear alignment locations for both OEM camber and toe:


CAMBER:

You need an adjustable camber arm! – done and done! Go buy one!
There are many camber arms out there……..which to choose? That’s entirely up to you and your budget, etc.

I however like those that are designed where the adjustment nuts/turnbuckles are not hard to get to.

Take a look below and see what I am talking about – Those camber arms that are designed with the adjustments close to the bushing side are hard to adjust with a huge 19-21 mm wrench due to the aluminum sub frame LUG getting in the way. You try getting in there and making adjustments!! pppffff..

To each their own on what you purchase – see here on what im talking about:


CHOICE of ROD END STYLE OR BUSHING STYLE ARMS:
You can chose when buying a rear camber arm if you want ROD END style end or if you want bushing style end. One may result in noise - MINE DID, but I just spray it every 3 months or so with lithium lube.

I choose ROD END style ended rear camber arms because I track my car, and I don't want a bushing to fail ever! So i opted
for the solid rod end style versus bushing end style.

ALSO, take note that the rod end style when installed between the lug of the rear aluminum subframe can be torqued down tight and squeezed to high torque spec and the movement is still free because its SOLID and a "rod end"........IF you try torquing down the eccentric washer at the end of a bushing style camber arm you are essentially squeezing the bushing and prematurely wearing the bushing out by limiting its "give".

re-read that if you have to.....

ALSO NOTE, THAT THIS ALSO APPLIES WITH ANY OTHER ARMS YOU BUY! ROD END VERSUS BUSHING END PARTS!



ROD END STYLE:
SPL Parts:

http://splparts.com/store/product-info.php?pid25.html
Stillen:

Circuit sports:

https://my350z.com/forum/suspension/...it-sports.html
Only downside is the casted rod end to them, but hey, its your car....keep reading...

Eibachs - the black ones - newer revisions are bushing, but now have a brass sleeve, this keeps the bushing from crushing and makes them a happy medium in decision making:



CASTED ROD ENDS:
Stay away from the cheap casted rod ends.........9 out of 10 "ARMS" built for the Z use aluminum or steel spacers at the rod end in order to accept the oem bolt and mount on the car! This allows many manufactures to purchase CHEAP SAE 3/4" or 5/8" cast rod ends that cost 2 bucks or less each and simply machine the spacers to the METRIC size bolt of the car! (rear camber and toe bolt dia is M12x1.25)

Purchase ARMS that use machined rod ends for strength and are of METRIC thread size, etc...

SEE HERE:



AFTER MARKET TOE BOLTS - MORE TOE ADJUSTMENT:
Now the oem eccentric washers that are on the Car for "Toe" (at the spring bucket to aluminum subframe location) really start to loose alignment spec capability once you go past a 3/4 inch drop or combination of drop and wheels with different sizes/offsets, etc...…

SPC sells part number 72055 toe bolts along with a few other companies that make 3 degree CAPABLE toe bolts!

Now these are toe bolts sized to replace your oem eccentric toe bolts yet they allow more adjustment with a “more” off centered axis on the eccentric washer. “in other words, its "more egg shaped” due to the bolt being MORE off centered that the oem egg shaped washers.

LETS COMPARE OEM AND SPC TOE BOLT ECCENTRIC WASHERS SO THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE THE ADDED DEGREES OF TOE ADJUSTMENT COME FROM:

OEM:


SPC:


ANOTHER PIC:



Also, These are NON SPC BOLTS - BUT Identical as well as they are "3 degree" bolts:

https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...alignment.html

HOW TO INSTALL THE SPC REAR TOE BOLT:
https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...-protocav.html

These more degrees of adjustment bolts work fine for a daily driven Z………….more on their track failures to come.

The guy is saying that he ordered TOE ARMS from George and received TRACTION ARMS instead. Your attempt at making him look stupid backfired. Your link there doesn't show every component. There is a camber arm, a toe arm (or spring bucket), and then a traction arm. He needs the toe arm (spring bucket delete arm) and received the traction arm instead.

Supraturboman I sent you a PM.

Yes I just read your PM thank you. That is the arm that I need. An NO I was not trying to make Gheorge look stupid by any means. He is a great guy to do buisness with. Alot of companies call the traction rod the toe arm,but despite that it is not the one that I needed.. But To say again, George is a great seller and am not mad at him at all.

No you weren't saying anything out of line. It was "1991ls13" that was popping off with misinformation and trying to make you look like a fool.

Vendors make mistakes just like anyone else. No harm no foul. I'm sure he'll rectify the mix-up.

This is a for sale thread that has been grossly muddled with crap conversation though.
