Message	Unless you do not mind giving up any sembelance of a smooth ride, are going to track your Z, do mind a possible (highly likely) rear end clunk and royal PITA to get old bushings out then go for it. Thing is, once it is done you cannot undo it.... I did it, regretted it, bought new rear subframe to put back to factory _______________________________________________________________________________________ Z SOLD 02.17.2007, Reacquired 11.05.2011 !
