Question Which Bushings to Use????

I installed my Stillen Sway Bars over the weekend. I can definetly tell the difference and I love the mod. I reused the stock bushings for now. I am looking for some advice on if that was the right decision. I have done my searches and have not found the answer. Should I . . . .

Re-use Stock
Get new Stock
Prothane Kit
Nismo

What type of grease should I be using? I searched that as well and have found conflicting advice.

I am definetly a newbie on this one. The install was easy so I do not mind having to go back and put in new bushings.

Thanks for the help

Use a non-lithium grease. Non-lithium will not deteriorate as quickly as a lithium based grease. As far as the bushings go....somone else on the board can answer that better than I.
Personally I would have put new bushings on when the sways were put on, but like you, I would have to seek out some advice on which to use.

Check out PROTHANE bushings. I installed them at the time I installed mt Stillens and have been very pleased. Prothane bushings are ribbed on the inside and come with a non-lithium based permalube. The internal ribbing helps keep the lub in place.

Thanks !!

That was the way I was leaning and I think I found someone local who carries them.

You're welcome. Happy to help. I had a little trouble getting the bushings, since Prothane does not sell direct, and the dealers on their website listed as carrying "all" really didn't. These 350z bushings are a pretty new product for Prothane. I ended up paying premium shipping so as not to delay the install. Nevertheless, I am very happy with the product; really firm, and haven't squeaked yet.
