make sure you guys post up how long the spherical bearings hold up to rain and dirt, I may be looking at some spl upper arms myself.

Thanks! The surgery is done and I'm healing good. Going on a cruise this Friday.

Can't wait for spring to come.

So glad to hear that you are safe and well.

We can't wait for your spring racing season either!

I wish everyone had your enthusiasm about these awesome SPL parts like you!

Thanks,

Since the doctor let me drive again. I've been putting some miles on the Nismo when the weather will let me. No probems so far. IF THERE IS, I WILL LET YOU KNOW and everybody else. The handling has been a couple of steps above stock. The stock Nismo coilovers now perfrom like they should, because there is no bushing binding going on. For road noise in the car. I can't tell if there is an increase or not because of my exhaust and tires. In all, sounds about the same. Have to wait to spring before I can dial in my rear sway bar.

Love this install! How crucial are the lower bushings (for the novice who is trying to save up for the front and rear control arms). Eg: is it advisable to only get the front arms if u can afford the bushings as well?

Depends on how much you want to spend. And how much flex you want to get rid of.

Ah i appreciate the reply rusty! I read almost all your threads in hopes to learn these things called "cars"! I have the nismo as well, Would you recommend a) the front camber arms and those bushings or b) getting something like swift springs. My goal is to increase overall control and "feel" of the car. Not sure which one is more value added! Ive spent a good bit of seat time now and i feel like id like to try the next step
Thanks for your help!

What direction do you what to take the Nismo to? A better DD, DD with some track manners, track with some street manners, or track rat? Just be carefully for what you wish for. As you move up the line. You will be giving up somethings.

Ideally a dd with some track manners (recently my DD got totaled ). I autocross every now and then as well. I dont care TOO much about street ride comfort as i known its not a lexus. I definitely value a "planted" and "tacticle" feel.

Also, i fully know how theres no such thing as a cheap hobby unless your hobby is saving money haha

Because you autocross. You have to look at the rules and go by that.

I honestly dont care about class in autocross since i only go there for the ability to have some fun with some friends, and most of the places local to me arent sanctioned by any organizations.
