Anyways I have a lot of plans for this car and I'm just going about it little by little, getting all the basics locked down before I go FI. Right now I've just got swifts and some spl rear camber arms. I want to replace all the mushy stock bushings so I'm going to get some spl traction arms and their rear bushing set. I've got some whiteline diff bushings and I'll get them installed as soon as I get my quaife diff. This is everything I think you would need on the rear, the only other upgrade would be to get coilovers. U want to zero out your toe, and keep it that way. When your car squats down during launch, your toe comes in and you loose some traction causing wheel hop. All the suspension upgrades I mentioned help minimize this. Now u know as much as I do

Great Info ...
Already have the rear Camber Arms and camber set to '0'
Will double check the toe ...
I also have the Quaife LSD ... replaced the Nissan LSD with it.
The Quaife is a little different than the OEM which I think is a hydraulic LSD .. ? forgot aaarrrggghhh...
The Quaife bites more and with the added HP and seems to want to break loose a little bit quicker but really digs in ... not a big problem tho'.
Will fwd your info to the shop, especially the bushings ... have talked it over with them regarding the coilovers previously.
Bad roads here in NJ...
