I agree wid VC there, and the poly bushes has allot more bushes than that adjustable syspension bits you wanna get.....
I just saying this as a friend so dont bite my head off, bit sort out your syspension before you go any further wid styling. Cause you will go down the N1 at 160KM/H and something breaks, and trust me, it aint a good feeling. I was there when my golfs lower control arm broke at that speed! No steering! Not nice!
My car isnt the best in syspention wise, but that will change in the next few weeks......

i totally forgot about that mario... hehe! thanks.
i just thought adjustable suspension arms- nice!
but you're right. so hanco you still gonna have to upgrade those little plastic sometime - specially if you get adjustable arms.
can you imagine if you have hardcore adjustable suspension with no play in them because of the nice spherical bearings in the rod ends in some places on the car...
and flopsywopsy saggy suspension bushes in the rest of the car??? it'll be al over the road like a cheap hooker! (or widowmaker).
oh ja - before you install the arms with the rod ends on - try to find replacement rod ends locally because those are also consumable itsms, just like brake pads. so you will be replacing rod ends after a while too!

My main problem is the round bush inside the end of the tension rod, that bush is a bit old and used. I phoned Nissan and they charged me R900 a tension arm with a new bush inside. They say they dont sell the bush without the arm so I have to buy both. And if you have to buy two its R1800 and thats more than my adjustable tension arms with rose joints + rear camber kit and and and infact for R3000 I get a 13 piece adjustable undercarriage kit.
So for that I think I'm ok, and then the coilovers so thats good to.
