Hey thanks for the ideas, sorry kinda a off week for me so I won't be able to make any meets unless there is one sunday night. I have lots of doctors appt's this week, and my mom is in town and I have my son... so crazy.
As far as the camber kits go do you need the camber and toe in the rear or just camber.

Most of the time you dont need toe, the alignment guy should be able to get it back in spec with existing ones. He will let you know if he cant though.

^agreed.. it's normally the camber that needs the extra room so that's what you need to get the adjustable arms for.

Its allways a good idea to have the added adjustability for toe. Keep it as close to zero as possible....otherwise you will be eating tires. And nissan spec is waaaaayy too broad. Zero toe is the way to go. And your camber will end up depending on the amout of drop you end up with AFTER the coils settle. Its a good idea to align it right after the install and again after the coils settle. The numbers will change I promise.
As for the correct products.....buy what you want, but there are a few really good threads in the suspension and braking part of the main forum that will help you make an educated decision.
Personally I went with KW variant2 coilovers(got a hell of a deal on a lightly used set on the personal classifieds portion of the forum) Stillen sways(cheaper than hotchkis, just as good, and I have a stillen hookup), and Ichiba camber arms front and rear and toe bolts(look up west covina nissan on ebay for the best deal). I absolutely love my setup!

I hate posting from my phone...double posting piece!
Anyway there are a few guys on here that have the tools and knowledge to do the install if you need help. Most notably Jake, I think R1, and myself......I'm sure anyone of us would be willing to help. I'm not positive, but I think I'm the only one who has access to an alignment rack. This group takes pretty good care of eachother, and allways offers fair pricing from what I've seen.

Sunday is the only day Crest is closed.......soooo no. Sat all day, and after 5:30 during the week is when I am free to do work.
Registered User
aww that sucks. Eh I thought NTB would be closed Sunday looks like I may be able to get one in with them real quick.
Registered User
Sorry man....gotta do what you gotta do....besides I need at least one day of no cars per week.
I've decided to go ahead and get the Sway bars, planning on getting the hotchkis, but also looking at the new motordyne but haven't heard a lot about them. Everyone here in DFW I have talked to pretty much recommend the Hotchkis for the most part. I am going to so the suspension a little later in the year looking to go with either the BC's or D2 coil overs and no idea on camber and toe arms yet but I am going to do them just not sure which one's are a good route.
