So I currently hae the spl rear diff bushing setup on my car
My front lower control arm bushing are shot and must be replaced
Should I go with the spl so it all matches? Or go with whiteline?
Kinda thinking whiteline will be better for dailystreet use but don't want to mix and match. (stiff *** solid rear bushing with softer front bushings)
Opinions and help needed!
Thanks!

Good imrovement considering both of my stock bushings were blown. Soon the whitelines on my car will be gone, swapped to SPL and i will really be able to tell if there is a difference.

Nvh noise vibration harshness
Hmm well I guess if you had whiteline and are upgrading to spl. Then guess I should skip the whiteline step and go straight to spl lol

My car is also a pretty serious track car, and coming off the road as a daily driver in a month. The shop that sponcors me has installed many sets of whiteline bushings on normal street cars, all with good results.

I'm still waiting for my SPL bushings to come in from back order. I drive my car daily, so will it be super uncomfortable or just make it a little more stiff? I hope I don't regret getting them for my daily in the end haha

i have the spl buchoing fr and rear for diff.
I have whiteline LCa bushings and i used OEM g35 revised compression rob bushings..
the improvment was astounding.
The steering wheel is tight, steering is heavy at speed, and feels ULTRA stable at speed now.
SPL in forn tis not necessary.
Also, when youre dealing w moving suspension parts.. ( the diff doesnt really articulate by function etc). other things tend to take the force and break when you relace rubber things w metal.
Do the whitelines and you will be far more than happy.
Do your compression rod bushings while youre there.. all said it cost me 300 bucks for everything inc labor for the front stuff.
and your right, there really isnt alot of feedback form the daily driver crowd.... Hope mine helps.

if you google 350z compression rod.. youl see where/what it is.. for the 350z you can only order the entire arm.. but the bushing presses in and out.. same part as the Infiniti G35 "revised compression rod bushing".. and I bought mine from Riverside Infiniti for like 35 bucks shipped or something like that. Makes a very large diff as well.. take a look at yours.. bet you they are ripped in half already.
