Nismo Bushings Any Good?

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Fri Oct 24, 2003 5:59 am

WELL I AM ON THE SUSPENSION PART OF MY PROJECT AND PLAN ON REPLACING ALL THE BUSHINGS IN 240SX. SHOULD I GO WITH WHITELINE OR NISMO? NISMO IS RUBBER AND WHITELINE IS POLY-URETHANE CORRECT?

OR SHOULD I GO COMPLETELY ADJUSTABLE (FRONT LOWER ARMS, TORSION ROD, REAR UPPER AND LOWER ARMS, TORSION BAR, AND TOE LINK)?

Depends on the goal of your car and how much money you have to spend...

Do you want a decent riding daily driver? Or don't care about the harshness of a track car?

MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE. THIS CAR IS PROBABLY GOING TO STAY A TRACK/NIGHT CAR.

i would expect nothing but high quality stuff from nismo, but ive read that they are an especially hard compound, making it good as gold on the track, but a pain in the *** daily driver.

if youre hardcore track, youd probably want to eliminate bushings as much as possible, but the second step down from that would be the nismo bushings, i would think.

Nismo bushings are acually NOT that hard... If you read up on them (in the Nissan Motorsports Catalog), they don't use poly like many of the other bushing companies use, in an effort to make them less harsh for street use! I just ordered a set of Nismo bushings for my car wednesday, and I'll tell you how they feel when I put them on

yeah let us know how they feel, i dont think anyone on here knows for sure.which bushings did you get? and how much did they cost?

i actually compared the NISMO derling bushings to my stock rubbers...they're a ton stiffer....(I replaced my front lower controll arm bushings)

NISMO=good quality stuff.

their bushings are much more "race stiff" than a lot of people think, poly bushings feel more flexible than the LCA bushings I got form NISMO.-chet

I love my Nismo TC bushings. The poly-euro setup is nice, but I wanted something that wasn't going to squeak on my constantly. The hard rubber isn't too harsh for daily driving, but stiffer shocks make it a pain sometimes :lol:
