2003 G35 Sedan Compression rod, Control Arm, Ball joint and Strut Shock replacement
I am about to do a complete overhaul on my 2002.5 G35 Sedan sport (factory red shocks).
Ball joints: I will be ordering the Duralast ball joint http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...3648_376835_0_
Compression rod bushing: Armstrong bushings from ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Infiniti-G35...9#ht_799wt_740
Lower control arm inner bushing: Is whiteline considered the most reliable? Still not sure where everyone stands.
Suspension: I want an OEM ride. Tokico Blue HP the closest thing? I am having a hard time finding compatible Tokico shocks for my car.
Some places have the same exact model number and say 'exclude 2003 AWD and sport
model'
While others say, 'exclude 2003 AWD'
Why do some sites say exclude sport?
Grease: Prothane super grease.
Please advise if I have made the correct choices as far as parts.
Aside form all this, I need to find a place to install these in Houston, TX. I should probably ask on Strictlygs. I do not have a press nor a garage, I live in a garaged apt complex.

One last thing.. what are you thoughts on replacing the control arm itself with an aftermarket one? Only $90, simple bolt on. That way I won't need a press..
