When glancing through the SPL catalog, it appears that there's a lot that can be done to improve the suspension of these cars. Besides the OE limits of alignment adjustability, are there other "weak" points in this system that one could upgrade or refresh in a street car that would make any significant difference in everyday driving?
Something that comes to mind could be suspension bushings due to the age of the car (although, mileage is only 41k, so I'm not sure if that plays a factor). Thoughts? |
Someone is going down a rabbit hole . :)

First off, thank you for the crash course in Suspension 1A. I'm learning as I go here, so I appreciate whatever guidance that I can get.

Front TRE's will likely come after the coilovers. This leads me to a question regarding the rear mid-links: Once coilovers are installed, you have the option to replace the spring bucket with a toe arm or the mid-link. There is a spring perch there. Just eyeballing it, the perch appears smaller than a OE rear spring. Is my perception off, or can the SPL mid-links take the place of the OE bucket? The Hotchkis front bar gets glowing reviews from the track guys, and some others run them on street-only cars as well. I suspect that if one opts for a stiffer bar, more robust end links are inevitable. You mentioned "if tracking". Should I be looking at other options if the plans are not to track the car? Quote:

There are two types of rear coilover setups:
True type which has coil wrapped wrong damper, and OEM type with spring separate from damper like stock True type, buy a toe arm that replaces the bucket OEM type, buy midlinks Swift springs are a waste of time, esp on factory dampers, just eat the bullet now and get coils and all the arms and do one install. Nobody ever complained about having too good a suspension, and it’s a perfectly streetable setup I remember hearing the rears are rolled from the factory, but I cannot confirm. I have a nismo that came with dumb flares |
