Energy Suspension

I got replacement bushings for everything. They come in a kit by Energy Suspension. I bought them from Courtesy Nissan in Texas. Their service was excellent.

ah, i'll have to be doing this soon.

What sort of costs are we looking at including shipping?

Were there no local alternatives?(noltec etc)

oops..just read the other thread!

I don't know what happened there. I opened a new thread rather than a reply.

I costed the noltec's and they worked out at about $50 dearer for their 'set' which did not inlude some of the items that Energy Suspension provided. As far as the shocks went I could find inferior shocks slightly cheaper or around the same price (KYB's and Bilsteins) or Konis which were much dearer. Given the good raps that our US colleagues have given to the Tokico's and the favourable exchange rate I thought I'd give them a go and I am very pleased with them.

Prior to the install I was very nervous about going over 80kph, it felt like a space shuttle on re-entry. Now there is a real firm ride although I still haven't cranked it up because we have had solid rain since I picked the car up.

Go for it, you won't regret it.
