so the hybrid hks air suspension is sold and its being removed. im happy, but a little sad at the same time - its kind of the end of an era for me.
the suspension is getting a major overhaul and i ordered some parts

battle version billet differential bushings f+r

is this overkill for a mixed use street/track/show car? absolutely! but i dont want a weak link anywhere or have to worry about breaking/fixing something down the line. the rear end should be super solid and able to handle whatever amount of power is thrown at it. i pity the tires i will be using.

well, to be fair the car is now 14yrs old and the bushings have gone to crap. to get everything tight like a virgin again i needed new bushings so why not upgrade? ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

i understand BV is top quality but you guys spend so much on the BV stuff. why dont you more "well off" guys spend a little more for wisefabs front and rear suspension? i only wish i could afford those :/ bit to extreme but i'd consider that the best suspension link for our chassis on the market.

Is the PHR rear sway bar mount necessary? I thought whiteline sways were SC specific.

driveshaft arrived pretty quick. finally got the intake after 5 months (long story). hypertune is amazing quality though. the welds are absolutely perfect.

decided to order the garage whifbitz dry carbon engine covers. i was going to paint match the oem ones, but i think this will be far more interesting.
