Thanks Greg. I know compromise will be tough, but new cars and even Miatas can be driven daily and then brought to the track on weekends for fun and simply embarrass people who have spent time and money on their cars. I could go out and buy a miata for track days, but that's not the point. I...
Rod, the Semi Trailing Arm on the Nissan is really inadequate for real performance use. I would like the car to be comfortable on the street and at least confident on the track. I'm not planning on using the Jaguar IRS, but I'm wondering if the same way the Jag IRS uses twin coil overs, if I...
That's my guess as well, the priority was trunk space and so that's how they combated the lack of space.
So if I have room for a longer travel, couldn't I utilize the idea of twin coil overs to retain a smooth ride with a stiffer spring rate, or would twin coil overs not be beneficial in a...
yep for the Nissan, I'm thinking a double wishbone/multilink rear suspension is the simple option to make a big increase over STA without having to tear as much apart to do so. I'd like to make the upper control arm adjustable to adjust camber should I decide to, and have the lower wishbone...
I'm still new to all of this, and since the people on here obviously know what they are talking about I'd rather learn from here, so pardon my simple questions.
Anyway my question is in the early Jaguar IRS they used 2 springs/dampers on each side, so a total of 4 in the rear alone. I haven't...
Thanks Greg, sounds like my researching of a swap to an IRS was worth while then. I was only hoping for a car I didn't want to do nearly as much work on there would be a simple solution, but it sounds like there is not.
I have a first generation Nissan 300ZX with Rear Semi Trailing Arm suspension. While many cars of this time used this type of suspension, especially European and Japanese manufacturers, they appear to be very outdated. I may in the end swap to an alternate suspension entirely, but since I have a...
