as far as the spring mounts or what have you... does anyone know any clue as to what additional parts I should buy when installing coilovers. I'm gonna evantually buy the following...

1) camber (front and rear) if necessary depending on my drop

2) lower control arms bushings and compression arm bushings

BUT!!!!! any rubber/plastic mounts that wear out that I should replace minus the above two points I should buy from the dealer to replace?

 

You seem to have everything or will have everything , but..........

Get on courtesyparts.com and replace every nut and bolt. IDK the year of your car, but even with my 08 i stripped so many threads, and it was a pain to fix all the mistakes. That's just my advise...........

I'd rather go through the pain of finding every last thing you might or might not need now, vs finding it later then replacing.

Other than that read JasonZya's guide, take your time, and do it right the first time.

Yeah hmmm good point. I read about the replacing the nut on the suspension 101 thread. Should I replace the spring mounts? My car is an 04... so yeah I will definitely look over the nuts i need to replace.

 

If you drop more than 1 inch there is a 99% chance you will need a rear camber kit, 3/4 inch drop its about 50%.
Shortly after its lowered the compression arm bushings will fail, LCA bushing also really don't last to long either.

 

Yeah I've read about the camber issues. I DD my Z so I really can't go that low. Just an inch. I order bc racing coil overs br type, so I'm gonna play around with the height and see what works for me, then install a camber kit in a few weeks and replace my bushings as well. My shocks stock shocks are done so that's the reason why i'm upgrading to coilovers that are "comfortable" for the street.

 

Yep, waht Terrasmak said for sure...

youll still want rear lower camber arms and toe delte bolt kits. Cheap, and youll already be there... no sense getting multiple aligments done after multiple part installs. Sounds like u wana stay away from that. SMART.


DO the whiteline LCA bushings as well as even a revisedOEM G35 compression arm bushing ( cant buy it as a 350z part, they will try to sell youthe whole arm) and yes replace the harware and your car is going to drive so great.. you will be extremely happy my man, its some of the best money spent on a 350z.
Also, the lovely high speed wiggle/tire wear issues caused by too mcuh fr and rear toe can be solved this way too.. all very cool mods ..even though they are actualy just considered maintenance repairs.. its a huge upgrade. Enjoy.

 

Energy suspension Front LCA, Shock mount and compression arm bushings are available. All for around $70 , much cheaper.
