It's about time, gutting the Nismo suspension.

I'm with Rusty, I did the bushing as well and it really tightens things up. I don't have mid links, and I have not had issues with the traction arms

I'm with Rusty, I did the bushing as well and it really tightens things up. I don't have mid links, and I have not had issues with the traction arms yet, but she has not seen any track time. We will see then and I will make adjustments if necessary.

Regarding the clunking with the bushings it was very noticeable until I drove the car hard at ZDAYZ. It no different than before now. I guess sometimes it pays to drive it like you stole it.
Rusty and ChaseZ like this.

The question is, how hard did you drive... In those 25mph corners I can assure you I wasn't going that slow tached up in 2nd gear. I had a blast. Did your front tires get greasy at the end of a run?

It was loads of fun, I didn't have much issue with the tires as it was cool when we ran the Dragon. I have RE 11s on the rear and SO 4s up front. Between the grip of the rear tires being superior to the fronts I had to pay attention to the under steering, but it wasn't bad at all. I can't wait to do it again next year.
