73 240z Installation

Purchased for 73 Datsun 240z. Great kit, comes in several sealed bags and you will have to open the box to find out what this group of sockets is for. A clear label on the outside of the pouch would be desirable so each set can remain sealed until needed. The instructions were very general but the parts are there, you just need to understand how to use what you received. The internet is an excellent resource for this. The rear stabilizer links had to be cut exactly in half with a spacer and a shorter bolt had to be purchased and the stabilizer end link bushings had to be narrowed slightly where they meet the control lever so it was centered - didn't act big. The steering coupling did not fit (at first) because after inserting the metal bushings, the holes turned out to be too far apart, there were 8 holes, 4 of them a little further apart. The trick was to move the metal bushings one hole. It would be nice to mention this in the instructions. All the details fit, but I had to scratch my head a bit. I'd like a metal flange to put around the front lower control arm yoke where it meets the control arm, but I'll replace them with adjustable camber bushings anyway. You will need anti-roll bar bushing kits that match the size of the anti-roll bar, an extra set of anti-roll bar end links if you have a rear anti-roll bar, 2 rear upper strut spacers and possibly replacement handlebar boots. I didn't change the rear spindle bushings, but all the other bushings fit perfectly. While I was tempted to buy the red kit since my car is red, I understand the black kit is impregnated with graphite and may last longer. . Oh. the car runs great! I was expecting more noise and possible tooth decay but it's not that critical and I can definitely see that they last a lot longer than the original gummies and they're half the price. It's hard to tell what the difference is as shock absorbers, ball joints, tie rods and many other parts have been replaced.
