How much work was involved? Is there any road blocks that you have ran into? How much of a difference has this made? Do you think it is worth it??
Same question goes for suspension techniques sway bars?
Thanks and have a good one!

Other then getting the bushings out of the control arms it not really that hard. I burned all mine off and then someone used an air chisle to pop the rear control arms ones out. That was the only PITA. I hear you can get them pressed out but the arm is really in the way and Nissan just will tell you to replace the entire control arm. Motivational sells the control arms witht he proper bushing already pressed in. Check them out.
As far as swaybars go this is my advice. If you like the overall balance of your car (heavy understeer all the time) then get the ST swaybar set. Otherwise just get the rear one or get the adjustable stillen bar. Lots of conversation about that bar in the "SE" section of the forum.
Good luck.

I didn't think there was a rear bushing kit for the B14s. I remember Mike Kojima saying there was a certain amount of preload in the rear beam bushings.

It is only the front for the B14. Thats what makes it so easy compared to a B13.

Nismo has some rear suspension bushings for the B14.

Both ends of the center arm(proper name escapes me at the moment)
