Upgrading & Need Some Opinions!!!
Someone from the G35driver told me to post on here since there are more track guys and I would get a better result.
This is my dilemma.
I have been meaning to upgrade all the bushing on my G. I'm talking front, rear and subframe. I have been looking into get the whiteline bushing if I go with a poly compound. I am very interested in the SPL Pro products ( I talking every product they sell) but I'm not sure how I feel about solid metal bushing.
I was wondering if there are any fellow members that have whiteline bushings or if any adventured with solid metal bushings.
I Do NOT care about comfort I'm all about performance and handling.
I do have coil overs with upgraded springs (14k front 12k rear). They are also on the stiffest setting offered. I have stillen sways as well.
Thanks guys

Is the car track only or still a street car? I can give you a really good rundown of what to get. My car is full SPL and had whiteline bushings in the past.

It is being used for street ATM, I'm hoping to be getting a another car soon. I will still hit the street on the weekends. I enjoy driving a car that can handle extreme, aggressive driving.

My goal is to have this set up all done at once. I was thinking it might have been better to stay with the same manufacture (bushing wise) but I have heard many good things about whiteline.

Nothin my exhaust can't drain out. I would have never thought about raising the rear subframe. I really appreciate everything you have told me so far. Im sure I'll have more questions down the road. How long have you been tracking your Z for?

I have the SPL aluminum rear diff bushings in. Got them installed when i noticed my stockers were leaking. definitely decreased the wheel hop on hard launches, slightly more drivetrain noise but still sounds good, rear end feels a little more planted. Haven't done the subframe bushings yet though.
