Got my rear SPL sway bar links installed.
 The stock links feel tight until you install one SPL link and begin to adjust it with a stock link on the other side. Then you feel how much movement there is in the stock links.

Is there a benefit of having the adjustability built into the sway bar end links or does most of the benefit come from the reduction in free play compared the the stock link?
The only thing I could think of would having the ability to preload the bar for one side of the car based on track setup for individual race tracks based on the majority of left or right hand turns? Just an idea.

Have the upper SPL control arms installed.
In the second picture. After I removed the bolt that holds the upper ball joint in the spindle. The upper arm popped up by it's self. The bushings in the upper arm don't rotate, they twist in place.  Third picture. The bolts that hold the arms in place doesn't have enough clearance with the coilover to come out. You have to remove the 3 nuts on top of the coilover so that you can move it down enough for the bolts to come out.

Side by side of the SPL and the stock arms. The stock arms are lighter.

When I installed the SPL arms. I had a bolt that was sticking out from the right inner fender that would hit the arm at full up travel. So I grounded it down.

Got an CEL the other day. Cleared it and it came back. So when I was jacking up the Nismo for the control arm install. This is what I found.
The plug for the right rear O2 sensor was broken. The day that the CEL first came on. I remembered hitting a dead ground hog.  I tired to miss him but couldn't, and this is what I got.

I know of a few who preload the bar to one side for differance track conditions. I don't think I could feel the differance.
