The Datsun S30 chassis is a masterpiece of automotive design, but its 1970s suspension technology often struggles to keep up with modern horsepower and high-grip tire compounds. While our Pro Touring kits offer a massive leap over factory equipment, we knew there was a segment of the Z community that wanted something more aggressive. They […]
The Datsun 510 earned its reputation by doing one thing exceptionally well. It delivered balance, feedback, and control in a lightweight package that rewarded drivers who cared about precision. Decades later, that reputation still holds, but only when the car’s steering system is able to keep up with modern driving expectations. The factory steering setup […]
The BMW E36 remains one of the most respected driver-focused platforms BMW has ever produced. Its balance, steering feel, and chassis feedback made it a benchmark when it was new. Today, however, many E36s suffer from tired suspension components that quietly undermine everything the car does well. Worn bushings, soft control arms, and aging joints […]
If you own a Datsun S130 280ZX, Nissan Z31 300ZX, or Datsun 510, you already know one hard truth. Rear alignment control is limited, outdated, and frustrating once the car is lowered or driven aggressively. Uneven tire wear develops quickly. Handling becomes vague. The lack of proper camber and toe adjustment becomes impossible to ignore. […]
The Z31’s Timeless Appeal The Nissan Z31 300ZX has earned its place as one of the most underrated cars of its era. With its distinctive styling, balanced weight distribution, and strong heritage, it was built to be a driver’s car. But even the best chassis can lose its edge over time. Decades of wear and […]
A Classic That Deserves Modern Handling The Datsun 280ZX is a car that has always turned heads. From its long hood and sweeping lines to the unmistakable character of its late-70s and early-80s styling, it has a presence that never fades. What has faded, though, is the performance of its factory suspension. The stock setup […]
Why the Rear Setup Matters The BMW E36 has earned its reputation as one of the most balanced, driver-focused platforms ever built. But even a chassis this good has its limits, especially when pushed hard on track or under modern performance demands. The rear suspension takes the brunt of acceleration, cornering, and braking forces. When […]
A Classic with Untapped Potential The Datsun S30, whether it’s a 240Z, 260Z, or 280Z, is one of the most iconic sports cars ever built. Its lightweight chassis, simple mechanics, and timeless styling made it an instant legend. But as great as these cars were in their day, the reality is that factory components haven’t […]
The Datsun 310/311 Roadster is light, lively, and fun — but it wasn’t exactly built for modern roads. Steering can feel vague. Suspension wear adds up. And if you’re running a lowered setup or newer wheels, geometry issues start to show. That’s where a few key upgrades from Apex Engineered can make a big difference […]
The Nissan Z31 300ZX is a rising star in the world of vintage Japanese performance. Whether you’re restoring one, building a track car, or just want a better driving experience, the factory suspension has one big problem: it’s old. Really old. And more importantly, it was never designed for modern tires, track use, or spirited […]
