Just chiming in? Do you really need full bushing replacement at just 70k miles? driving habits are specific to car and owner but if this is a DD, i can't see how bushings are shot that fast.

This isn't really a quick/easy job, pulling the rear suspension, burning/pressing bushings out and replacing all of them is time/effort, even if you can do it yourself. Seems like kind of a pain in the *** to do all that for poly bushings on a DD - i could totally see dropping in spherical bushings everywhere for a track car.

To me this is a hard balance between replacing stuff with quality but expensive parts or just fixing what needs to be fixed.

SPL everything will make your car awesome, but its expensive. Like, really awesome. But expensive.

How bout scouring used parts areas for lower-mileage Z's that have had stuff replaced for aftermarket?

It's your time, it's your money, it's your sweat, i'm just pointing out maybe think about what you really need, the cost, and what you're actually getting for it all.

Going eibach/koni and OE style everything, seems like performance is a low priority, so . . . maybe save some money where u can?
