Does anyone know of a company that makes a full bushing kit? preferably a stiffer than stock kit, and where could i find a new bushing for the shifter?

 

eshocks.com have a full prothane bushing kit for around $100 and as far as the shifter bushing i saw one on ebay for $20

 

I know Energy Suspension has a kit, as well as Prothane, which BigBirdsZ mentioned. As for shifter bushings, my only guesses would be B&M, as I think they make a short-shifter kit for the Zed, or the local Nissan parts counter.

For those of you who have a urethane kit do you recommend it over stock for street driving? I plan on doing the swap when I start my suspension, but I don't want to ruin my daily driving comfort.

 

With as soft as a 280ZX suspension is, I doubt stiff bushings will make it unbearable. If you think a 350Z rides too hard for daily driving then yes, you don't want to do any upgrades to your Z.
I think a 280ZX NEEDS better bushings and stiffer springs/struts to be comfortable for driving. it is way too soft as it sets.

 

Sweet thanks i'll look them up

 

You have just scored MAJOR kudos points with me ...

Now slightly on topic ... I know of a few suspension kits for the 280ZX, but are they compatible with the 2+2? I guess what I'm asking is, will the added weight and length of the 2+2 throw off spring rates, or make the ***-end saggy? Also, if I were to install a kit (say, Eibach for instance), could I order stiffer springs from the company in question for my application? I probably should be asking Eibach directly about this, but I'd like to see what you all know/suggest. Thanks in advance,

All the spring kits I have heard of are advertised on the manufacture's website as not being for the 2+2. But users on Zdriver have installed them into a 2+2 and they work fine. The added weight does not make a noticeable difference in sagging. As for bushings, they are all the same and should work fine. when you order a spring set, don't bother telling them it is for a 2+2. They may not sell it to you then.

 

seriously? they'd reject a sale. . . haha dummies. .

i scored points through my sig? suhhweet
