Fixin my pathy's problems all at once

[Pavelow Leaks]

So I'm takin the plunge, after christmas I'm gonna get the pathfinder of doom into the shape it should be.

 

Calmini Steering kit, new calmini torsion bars, and 8 new shocks...damn dual shock setup makes it pricey . Also changing all the ball joints, bushings and installing low profile bumpstops,all of which I already have sitting in the back of the pathy. I'm gonna order it in Jan. and install it all at once cuz I'm lazy and I'd rather get it done in one sitting.

 

Right now I have Rancho 5000's up front and 9000's in the back, I'm thinkin of goin with the calmini's because the price is right, anybody have them? problems? stick with the rancho's?

 

Input is appreciated on any of my choices, lemme know what you think.

 

This is putting a delay on the forced induction on the mustang, but it has to be done, and honestly I've been having more fun in the pathy lately .

good choice....ive always like wheeling more than i have liked going fast (not saying that it isnt fun, its just that i would race around on the street more, and the PO PO dont like it...)

I don't street race, and since the track is closed the mustang is pretty much parked till summer anyway.

Honestly, don't waste your money on the Calmini steering setup. Go with L&P. It's a fraction of the cost, and is built to LAST. You can even go with just L&P's centerlink, and it'll end up performing just as well as the calmini setup.

besides the cost, which isn't really important, what are the differences? Are you sayin the calmini system wont last?

Calmini constantly has quality issues. Their upper control arms squeek like no tomorrow, and I've heard of issues with their SAS kits. To be honest, I don't know of many people running the Calmini steering kit. No one I've heard of (and there's a lot more people running them) has ever killed an L&P centerlink. That goes for Xterra's and Frontiers, as well as Pathfinders. The design uses more stock components, which makes parts replacement easier, and more cost effective down the road (tie rod ends) and it doesn't stray THAT far from Nissan's original design.

Calmini is also known for having the worst customer service... I woulnt trust them any further than I could throw them.
