Other than the wear and tear, my Z is solid and she deserves another go. I won't be surprised if I see over 200K on this one. |

At 70k miles you say it handles poorly. I doubt the bushings are the problem but the shocks are definitely ready to be replaced.
I have the Koni shocks and Eibach front sway bar and it made a big difference and I only had 30k on my Z when I swapped the shocks. My recommendation for adjusting the Koni shocks is to keep the rebound soft for the street if the roads are not perfect and keep the rebound softer in the rear then the front.

I think I would have to agree with optionzero on this one. At 70k I doubt your bushings are truly worn, more than likely it's your shocks (if anything, might just be you want more than what oem has to offer). Replacing all the bushings with poly for a DD and then staying with eibach springs and Koni yellows I'm just not sure the value in that. I believe powertrix just posted a sale going on in one of the other post as well as Fortune having a sale coming up. Either of those would be near the cost of 4 Koni yellow and eibach springs and will most likely make all the difference you'll want (the fortune run a softer spring though so may want to request stiffer). That and aftermarket bars will make a bigger difference than bushings and will probably still have less effect on NVH (or at least buzz).

Yeah if you want to improve handling, skip that spring shock nonsense
Fortune and powertrix coilovers Better rubber SPL front upper control arms for full camber/caster adjustment And if u can do it, a diff upgrade. Wavetrac or OS giken

This would be your best bang for the buck.

Fortune/Power trix = $1300 (less if you get a sale price)
19 inch grippy tires = $1300 SPL FUCA = $900 Total = $3500ish Totally streetable daily driver MUCH more noticeable upgrade Parts have re-sale value (especially the SPL FUCAs)
