Default Lower control bushings: SPL or Whiteline/Energy?

Ok after about an hour of searching keywords, I can't find the post I need.

I have a lowered 350z (roughly 2" on KW Clubsport). I currently have SPL Compression rod bushings.

As far as lower control arm bushings, do you recommend SPL spherical bearings or Whiteline/Energy Suspension? Car is 100% street car, daily driven. Looking for a little 'comfort' if that can be had with KW Clubsports .

thanks..

Go whiteline, i set up Pro_350Z's car that way, works well. Not much noise.

+1 on Whiteline, in the long run they will offer less noise, although might squeak in cold weather...mine do. This however is easily rectified with a yearly application of lube/grease...unlike the SPL units which ALL (at least on my car) without exception made clunking noises after some 3-6 months of use and didn't stop no matter what I did to them ...well stopped after removing every-f-one and swapping to whiteline.

Also and off topic, KW clubsports are not that bad in the comfort department, my buddy has them and literally said they are smoother than his old Nismo (s-tune???) non adjustable coils. How do you like yours and have you done any track days on them ?

Hate to revive this but I wanted to know the outcome and how it has been so far. I am currently in the market for some bushings. The car will be street for the most part.Looking for the comfort of oem and one with minimal to no noise. Thanks
