Question Suspension Questions??

Ok so I am looking to upgrade the Max for the long term and as far as that goes it would mean Coilovers, swaybar bushings, links etc. So far I have gotten away with the stock struts that did well for the last 3 or 4 years under load by the Eibach springs but I definitely need to upgrade so I don't have to worry as much about these maintenance pieces for some time. So if you guys can chime in I would greatly appreciate the help. Below are my questions.


Coilovers.....I am seeing we as Max owners have a couple brands available to us be it Megan, BC, and KSport, etc. but I am wondering is there a way for the nonspecific to fit on our cars and what I mean by nonspecific I am talking about brands for the 350/370z. Do either two of the Z platforms share our suspension components? Arms? Anything?


Is there a way to get poly swaybar bushings? or does anyone know the mm size of the bar so the poly bushing can be bought that matches the bar size?


maybe more questions will come of this thread but for now those are my main ideas. To advise you guys I am definitely not trying to go ***** to the wall Stance Nations style, I just like my rides to handle properly and still have a great stance as well as dependable parts, so coming from the 240, and 350Z world (when I was single lol) its kinda what im hoping for since I have had this Max for as long as I have had it. The wife definitely is down for the upgrades because she loved the way the cars I have built used to handle but now its time to get it done on the Fam Sedan.

I am interested in this thread too. I am sticking with the Eibach set up route. I have the springs in my garage, I just want to have a few more parts lined up to swap out when I start working on it.

I had the poly-bushings on my 240 and loved the added stability.

Thanks for the answer Dragon but maybe i should of elaborated a bit more im not really looking to swap out the sway bars as they are just fine for daily driving for me and the wife. This car def wont be seeing any track days lol im mainly in search for upgrading for the long haul. We planned to keep this car and the last thing we need is for things to have to be replaced quickly due to its low quality.
Also i know BCs are available like i stated but i want to know if there is a way to utilize any of the 350z/370z parts such as their coilover, their arms, their bushings etc, etc.
What do you meanchange out the control arm if need be? Is their a upgraded version?

Spc makes a rear camber adjustment arm, don't and haven't seen a control arm for the maxima.

Why over think this and try and fit parts that aren't made for the car?
