The Complete SPL Rear Suspension (Almost)

SPL stuff is top tier I have everything but the knuckle monoball and subframe bushings, since my car is still relatively low mileage. One day i'll get to them Note:

Note:
With the SPL Mid-links you need a 60mm spring so when choosing your coilover get the spring diameter! Otherwise order some Swifts and use those

Yeah, I know about the spring diameter. Well, my Z is low mileage too. Only have about 32,000 miles on it.

I have to give a shout out to Daelen at MA Motorsports. He gave me some good prices.

When doing this work. It's a good time to take care of the clicking axle.

I did the full metal bushings in the subframe and monoball everything in the spindle on my S14. it was rad

but

a pain in the *** to get everything done

I bought a spare subframe, lit the rubber bushings on fire, pounded them out. That was fun. needed a shop to get all the bushings out of the z32 spindle and swap in sphericals. powder coated everything. so much time/$$$

but in the end the car was solid as F. Noisy as hell on the street, felt EVERY bump

When I get that far with the Z i'd probably get an LSD at the same time while dropping everything, so now thats a huge job

but it was rad

The only suspension pieces that SPL doesn't make is the bushings for the rear upper arms that mounts to the rear sub-frame and the knuckle at the top. If they made them. I would have them. To do those. You would have to drop the sub-frame to get to them.

Got my rear upper control bearings. Wondering if I have to drop the sub-frame or not.
