Don't forget upper control arms (kinetix v2), spacers, rear adjustable control arms and toe bolts.

Haha trust me, man. It'll all save you money on tires in the long run. Plus it makes your car feel much higher end suspension wise.

Coupe or sedan?

Get some adjustable tie rods while you are at it.

what bushings have you actually replaced? There are a lot of bushings and if you are feeling like the suspension is loose, it is likely to be the bushings (Lower control arm and compression rod are the most common).

These other mods will help with performance, but not fix a "loose" feel unless your shocks are blown.

I just need the front end to feel stiff. I hate getting above 120 and the car feels like it's gonna fall apart.

Its probably off. My alignment was **** in dead stock form. I hate this cars stock suspension.

Once you get those adjustable arms, your car is gonna feel like a whole new wooorrrllldd. A new fantastic point of view.

Haha, I know I know. I'm just excited for you. BtW, I would invest in a lifetime alignment if I were you. Every time you tear apart that front end it needs to be realigned.

Why toe bolts? I literally just got new ones from nissan a month ago. And spacers are for looks.. Rather put that 120 to performance.
