so it handled OK once you changed every single critical piece of suspension on it? who would have thought!
Yeah, I've driven Cedrics for waaaay too many years and I know how they handle. When I was nutting out what I was going to do to the coupe, I decided early on that the stock suspension wouldn't be right for this car. So along with a lot of the other systems on the car, the suspension got upgraded.The only "changed" bits were the front springs fom Jumboz and Koni adjustable shocks front and rear. Everything else is stock Nissan, the front bar is from a stock 330 wagon, the rear is a stock 16mm jobbie from a 330 sedan and the rear springs have been reset to something lower by Jumboz as well. As far as the wheel alignment, the guy who did it said he gave me as much negative camber as he could without 'modifying' the inner guards. Strangely, on the 330's more negative is possible with a slightly different shape in the critical zone. Tyres and wheels are a personal choice, the Dunlops were recommended to me and I only use them on the track. For the street I use Michelin Pilot sports.
Nothing radical, just tweaked to suit my needs.
