UPDATE

For those of you who will install these or already have them installed re-torque the bolts to the compression rods or any other bushings. My driver side started making noise and found out that the bolt was far too loose and I tighten it with a racket as much as I could and noise is gone. Also a good idea to lubricate them with teflon lubricant once in a while.

Well they have been installed for a couple weeks now. Steering is so much lighter, the old bushings were wasted. Normal driving you can hardly hear them, on the racetrack, good freaking god they are loud. I thought my suspension was going to break. When cornering very hard the sway bar cranks the control arm sideways causing a loud clunk. No big deal, i have never had this good of front end feel on the car before.

I just recently put spl compression rods on my 2004 350z and the driver side is perfect but the passenger side makes a rattling noise when I hit a series of small bumps. This gets super annoying does anyone have any suggestions?
