Another suspension choice mix
Hi everyone!
I'm new to forum. I own an 04' Z33 since June. Here it is my introduction post: https://my350z.com/forum/new-owners/...rom-spain.html
It's going through it's first mod, a complete interior rebuild. Will post up some pics when finished.
Now, with christmas holydays just around the corner, I've enough time to rebuild and start thinking on best suspension settings for my use. This car is not a daily and neither a track car. I drive it mostly on sunny weekends and would like to see 1/2 track days a year.
The car is on 245/40/18 front, 245/45/18 rear ContiSportContact 7 tires mounted on stock 18" Track Rays. I've no plans to change stock wheels.
I would like to ask for some help deciding on what suspension settings should I go for. Take in mind that I'm based on EU, so the arm/bushing/shock catalog is not that extensive here.
Here are my initial thoughts:
If going coilover side, I'd like to go for a true coilover setting and remove spring bucket for a toe arm.
Anything else you would add/remove? Anything to change?
Any help is much appreciated

Here are my initial thoughts:
- Front:
- GKTech front suspension rod bearing bushing
- GKTech front lower arm inner spherical bushing
- Whiteline front lower arm outer bushing
- DriftMax front adjustable camber arms
- Rear:
- Whiteline rear axle shock bushing
- Some more Whiteline/Strongflex arm to axle bushings
- DriftMax rear adjustable camber arms (+ camber lockout bolt)
- Whiteline diff bushing kit
- Shocks:
- Bilstein B12 pro kit
- Swaybars:
- Whiteline F/R

Spherical for the damper mounts, Nismo for the front lower inner, replace the compression rods as the ball joint isn't replaceable, no true coilovers, the chassis wasn't made for it.
