What coilovers?Get SPL RUCA's (or Battle Version)Good sway barsBushing kit is niceSkip on the baller strut brace, and get one from Courtesy Nissan.

Then invest in new front tension arms.

Yayy I can halp! It's from the back of the motor near the exhaust side but still on the very back of the head just above the trans. It's just a cheap-o firewall to engine ground. throw that sheit out and get a nice thick wire with some baller plated terminals in its place.

Lowered/coilovered cars raise hell on the factory ones, and bust the green goo out of them.

Just ensure you recirculate it, and you'll be set
