from driving different cars, the Z's suspension has a tendency to wander around over rougher roads (toe changes as suspension compresses). good way to minimize is by controlling the damping by stiffening it up.. i'd just use stock springs in this case.
Excellent input. Thanks Kenchan

Part of the difference on the Nismo is the front tire diameter is .2" smaller. It could attribute to the spring looking higher than the rear up front. I noticed it, but it's a 1/4" difference at most front to rear.

Are those direct purchases from Bilstein? I'm having a hard time finding a vendor who deals in them. Thanks

Trying to understand: Are you guys suggesting that the ride height will change because of the spring height, stiffness, spring mounting differently, or the tire diameter? According to TireRack the diameter for the fronts on a Nismo are the same as my Sport 26.8; the rear Nismo 26.9, sport 26.5 - so if anything I would think that the gap in the rear would be more??

Front upper and lower control arm bushings
Sway bar and end link bushings
Rear toe arm bushings
Rear Camber arm bushings
Rear Upper control arm bushings
Rear Sway bar bushings
Rear sway bar end link bushings
Rear Subframe busings
Front and rear shock bushings

These aren't really suspension bushings, but might need replacement:
Engine mounts
Tranny mounts
Rear diff bushings

Still researching if there are any other bushings in the rear knuckle. I'm still figuring out the suspension on this myself, but I hope this helps.
