Ready to upgrade your 240z 260z 280z suspension with a Bolt In performance kit? The S30 Retro Mod Suspension Kit allows you to replace ALL your factory suspension and install your R180 / R200 Long Nose Differential. Unlike the Pro Touring Rear Subframe, this subframe for the Retro Mod is designed so that the rear bar does not protrude, thus no need to modify the spare wheel well or modify the frame to add clearance. The rear subframe simply bolts in!
Our rear suspension kit eliminates the rear mustache bar and dog legs and converts it to a rear subframe that significantly strengthens the rear structure on the chassis. This design lets you adjust roll center, camber, caster, toe, and many others.
Note, if using the R200 long nose, the differential factory breather needs to be removed and replaced with a low profile one.
No additional cost for optional colors!
If Rod End / Heim Joint dust boots are desired, this kit uses 12: Rod End Dust Boots
