Because i have an 1990 240sx with 280,000 km every bone stock & I recall you mentioning earlier in this thread that you didnt want to track your 240sx because of major risk of any body/subframe/suspension damage because of so many years of wear & tear? From what I see of what you’ve done, Im really interested in investing to restore the suspension & body of my car … I plan to keep my 240sx for a while too (I just bought it 3-4 months ago from brother) & I love this car … Can you help me out with quotes or places to go for that type of restoration? > > Your help is much appreciated! > > Mike Well for starters… Cost wise. Add up a Bushing Kit, Subframe Bushings, Front & Rear Lower Ball Joints, Front & Rear Wheel Bearings, Inner/Outer Tie Rods, Caliper Rebuild Kits & Axle Rebuild Kit. Then if your doing the rest of the Brake system theirs Pads, Rotors & Lines. Then look at either stripping the car down so you have all the parts to work it or buy extras and just swap them all out down the road when your ready to do so. Labor alone (if you paid someone) to do this all for you it would be insane. I have no idea how much it would be thou because I have no idea how much time I have into it since I’ve just picked on it here and there over the winter. But parts alone… I figure $1000 by the time I’m done and hopefully not any higher. I’m just extremely lucky that I’m able to do it all myself or I could never afford it. > [@Story/rant of the night.](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/story-rant-of-the-night/16394/4): > > Jedi\_car\_fan, its guys like you that make car shows happen man, every car enthusiast appreciates anothers hard work and time they’ve put into there car. doesn’t matter if its euro, domestic, or jdm, i think everyone can agree if you love cars your welcomed by everyone. very nice work on your suspension Thanks man… I appreciate that. Thou I’m not into car shows and such I’m really only doing it for one reason and thats because no one else does (or at least with their 240) most are just rust buckets. Then theirs the bonus that doing it will restore everything making it as fresh as possible. > [@BAAHHHH!!!

Its an Energy Suspension Kit… whether its one of the better ones Im not sure. I know theirs a few different makes/kits available but I’d imagine their all pretty much the same or close enough too it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-suspension-restoration-project/108682)._
