Good deal, make sure to get rear Energy Suspension bushings as well, are the fronts ES bushings or just new stocks? $35 buys you a set (front and rear) of Poly bushings from EnergySuspensionPartsOnline.com, that's what I did for my Stillen sways and I love em

For the aftermarket bushings, are you guys going with greased or non-greased?

I am assuming the rear sways will fit the x sedan? I know the fronts won't work.

you need to grease the bushings. otherwise you will get some mad squeaking and could possibly run into other problems (I don't know about other problems for a fact but the noise will be super annoying)

Energy Suspension bushings used to work like this:
-black had graphite built in and were self-lubricating.
-red needed the urethane lube to be used with it.

I hope you check your sway bars often for cracks then, because on the 350z forums a couple of members had them crack at the mounts.

Is it really needed to add new bushings when installing Stillen sways?

How difficult is the install?
