Default Aftermarker suspension components gs3

Not just coilovers, but anything to help with stance and handling post it up ! I'm throwing some ideas around and would like your guys' help !
My first item:
Night Pager Roll Center Adapter 30mm JZS147 JZS161 Aristo
Some info on it :
You are viewing a brand new pair of front Night Pager Roll Center Adapters for the JZS147 and JZS161 Aristos.

The Night Pager Roll Center Adapters are a must when lowering the vehicle. This is because the geometry of the suspension changes and is not suitable for cornering from the change in suspension height. The Night Pager Roll Center Adapters will correct the suspension geometry to make your vehicle more suitable for hard driving and will improve cornering. Now, the roll center will now be in the correct position.

You can always make your own custom arms. Just get friendly with a machinist and look through some circle track websites that sell heims and what not.

heres a pic in this thread but its on a 2gs, same idea. if you can measure the bolt holes from center to center and compare it to the 2gs maybe those would fit

Those are nice but you have to have coilovers with that mod, u could do it on springs if ur not already too low

I havent done it yet, just a component I posted that would help, man that sucks ! So does anyone know if anything on the 2nd gen is compatible ? I emailed a couple of ebay shops and rhdjapan, none of them know
JOSH: I actually work at a place where we make aircraft parts and that wouldnt be bad, but I would like some alluminum components, it would be too expensive to have someone catia some up haha

the 2gs front upper control arms were confirmed to be interchangeable by another member on here.

maybe the 2gs adj. toe and traction rods never really looked.
you can also look at the sc rear links as those may be similar

Yes this is what I was talking about, you can pretty much make these yourself. Are these 1G or 2G?

We (Kasu Racing) made all our own arms for my S13 240sx's just like these.

To bad I bought my GS for a daily or else I would really look into fabing up some custom adj. links for it.

Here are some without heims.
Toe for the rear on left and Tension rods for the front on right.







It would be nice to make custom front upper and lower arms for the 1G and use some of these ball joints.

I still have a few of the U bend things also. Maybe if somebody wanted to send me some stock arms, I could make some arms for the GS? I'm def. not taking mine of the wife's car ha.
