Awesome video Kyle, and thanks for the shoutout! Also neat to actually see the stiffness difference - if you watch the video at 0:10 seconds, you can see how the softer suspension keeps the sprung weight relatively at an even level, not much bouncing around; then moving to 12:58 after they've been installed, you can see how much more body movement you and Chris have, as you obviously need stiffer springs to compensate for lowering the ride. Great video, awesome project!

Hey Kyle, first of all I love your build. It's exactly the kind of thing that people should be doing when starting on a 240sx project. Last year I, too, installed a set of BC BR coilovers and ISR suspension arms on my 240sx hatch and tried a TON of different dampening settings. The car became very bumpy and uncomfortable no matter what I did. Are you experiencing a similar issue with that setup, or is it smooth sailing so far? Everything was torque to spec. Maybe I received a bad batch?

Oh yes, you're right about that haha. I need to play with the settings a bit more to see if I can soften it a tad more. I ended up purchasing a lifetime alignment package so as I go through the build and change additional things, I can dial it in better. All of the suspension bushings, aside from what was changed in this video, are still original. That will be the next thing to do, along with the wheels, tires and brakes.

*I'm kinda bummed you didn't go with Powertrix coilovers, as opposed to the BC ones that you have now..especially since you want to track the car. It pays to go with a company like Powertrix (specializing in Nissans), who puts so much R&D into each of their coilover kits, and tests them on the road, along with various road courses/ race tracks. BC Racing doesn't even appear to much, if any, R&D into their suspension components.* But hey, it's your car, and if you're satisfied with the product and the results that come from it, then good for you.

Keep something in mind, Kyle. Some camber is good for handling, because of body roll, your contact patch is increased, therefore increasing lateral G's. Another thing to note: Get rid of those stock wheels ASAP. They're really heavy, and they don't look as good as some aftermarket wheels.

That's way too much negative camber in the rear. -0.5deg will probably wind up working better for you. The double-wishbone setup in the rear means you gain negative camber under compression, so you want your starting camber to result in a flat tire while in a corner.
@saabkyle047 жыл бұрын
The car had -0.75 from the factory. So far, it's working out quite well! Like I said, it'll probably change when the wheels and other suspension pieces get fitted.

Double wishbone does not always mean you gain negative camber under compression. In the mk3 supra you gain positive camber on compression.
@ho6b9s7 жыл бұрын
Mortalomena interesting, didn't know that about the Mk.3 Supras. On S13s, they definitely get more negative. At about half way where the tire tucks into the fender, the camber starts to get pretty crazy, which is why a lot of road race folks run less camber in the rear. When I got my s13, it was slammed on some ISR coilovers, and the rear had like -3deg using the factory control arms. Luckily, aftermarket arms can correct all this :)
