I dont really know all of them right now so thats why im asking. (im not a 240sx noob or anything like that , just need some help on this particular subject)

Thanks alot!

Energy Suspension master bushing kit. this will probably impact your driving experience more than most other suspension parts.

Inspect your subframe bushings. Unless you're a complete masochist, I'd suggest using collars. The new bushings are probably the best way to go, but collars are pretty sufficient. Reason I suggest looking at the collars first is if you've ever tried mounting back up a rear subframe, you'd understand why I wouldn't suggest pulling the subframe.

Unless you're lowered and have camber issues, don't sweat the ruca and toe rods just yet. You're better off checking out your wheel bearings and ball joints on the front and rear lca's.

then I'd look into the struts and depending on how far your ride gets lowered, then start looking into a ruca/toe link package.
