My current suspension setup is 17x8 fno1s with 225/45 azenis st115s, rsr race springs w/ agx, and whiteline strut bars... Initially I was planning on saving for a turbo build next, but being that I am going to college in the fall that will be very impractical, with all the things that could go wrong with a turbo car. So instead, I want to finish up my suspension. So far Im planning on:

Rear Upper Control Arms
Adjustable Front Tension Rods
Nismo Power Brace
Tein Tie rods
Rear Subframe Spacers (im thinkin the techno toy set, any other suggestions?)
New Sway bar bushings ( probably es)
eliminate hicas?

and when i get money for em, Zeal b6s

Im building the car as an agressive street car that will fair decent (not necesarily the best) in all conditions (togue, autox, track days) and provide alot of confidence and feedback. Cabin comfort is of no concern to me. In the long run I plan to have alot of power, and im going to need the control to handle it.

I'm wondering if there are any other parts or bushings I should consider

Which parts would you go with in my catergories? whats good bang for the buck?

And I would also like any other general comments on the direction im heading in my buildup.

Thanks so much guys,
jonathan

RXB, fender braces, also if you haven't looked into it yet, maybe some SS brake lines and some nice pads with some brembo blanks and good fluid. Clutch lines. Okay, I'm getting OT.

i know saving for college is no fun, but it is very expensive. aside from tuition and books, there is pizza and beer to consider too.

but if you want to have a car that is uncomfortable to drive and likely to get stolen, more power to you.

but if you want me to stay on topic, what about poly bushings for all the arms you are keeping stock. or Z32 rear uprights and hard bushing inserts (spl i think, saw it on SCC's z32 project car)
