Well what do you know another member in Vegas. First up; yes you will need better brakes, there was just a post about 3 weeks ago titled extra-large brakes (go to back to page 5 on main forum). The upgrade involved making a carrier for stock Nissan caliper (Sentra I think).

I’m using the 280ZX coil over / brake set set up, it works well but is on the heavy side. If you want to come by my place and take a look just let me know, I’m on Sunrise Mtn. I bought the complete front suspension set up from Nealy Racing (SCCA GT-Lite car builder) years back.

As the CA motor and whatever tranny you plan to use is going to be 75-100lbs heaver than the A12 with 56 series tranny you’ll likely want to upgrade the springs. When we first started racing our coupe we used cut down 240Z springs (they fit on the 1200 struts), in your case I would try the Z springs first before cutting them and see what the ride height is. Golf MK1 strut inserts are what’s being used for the stock 1200 strut tube.

Also get a set of Addco sway bars 7/8 front 5/8 rear. Don’t know what size rims you planned on using, I run 185/60 13’s (rule book) but you could probably go to 14’s without clearance issues, depending how much or if you planed to lower it.

One final note I have some street bits I don’t use but keep around, interior panels etc. I don’t know what motor is in the car now but we could probably swap some stuff.
