Price range: $2,145.00 through $2,390.00
Modernize your 240Z, 260Z, or 280Z with our Retro Mod Front Suspension kit. It includes everything to replace your factory front suspension on your S30! The crossmember and tension-arm braces add serious chassis strength, while upgraded adjustable control arms, tie rods, and steering knuckles deliver quicker, tighter, more responsive handling—street or track.
Engine swaps are easy with our modular motor mounts for RB, LS, JZ, VQ35, and VQ37.
VQ note (see last photos): The VQ oil pan interferes with the tension-arm brackets and braces, so they aren’t included. Pricing reflects the added cost of a second engine crossmember and a custom front crossmember required for clearance.
This kit does not come with Front spindles so you can use the factory ones, or another brands. Otherwise, check out our Front Spindles!
If Rod End / Heim Joint dust boots are desired, this kit uses 4: Rod End Dust Boots
