Just purchased a '95 240sx, aside from the subframe bushings (which seem to be the most important of the bushing replacements) which other bushing sets should i look into replacing? The car will ultimately be built for track/drift use only.

energy suspension sells an entire kit..

it's a "master bushing" kit. it has basically everything included.

the kit does NOT include subfarme bushing replacements, that is a separate part number.

the kit WILL include subrame bushing INSERTS. do not get this confused.

the kit is very cheap for all of the pieces you get.

or use the nismo they are more expensive and more of a bitch to install but they dont have to be regreased. start with the ones that are oozing or busted. then eventually get them all

wow, really? i only noted that it will be set up for track because i won't be daily driving it, so the harshness of the ride isn't really of any concern to me. to some people this might be an issue unless they don't mind pissing blood every day. as for my supposed "next question" you're abosolutely right, what can i remove from the car to make it lighter? steering column? differential? brakes? suspension? please enlighten me....

Remove the engine, and the brakes Gives you better traction and weight distribution. You can also try to drain the blinker fluid to save some weight and get rid of those nasty muffler bearings can really make a world of difference.
