What vehicle does the SPL R35 GT-R front bushing kit fit?

The SPL R35 GT-R front bushing kit (FLBK R35) fits the 2009-2019 Nissan GT-R R35. It replaces the large rearmost bushing in each front lower control arm, so confirm your model year before ordering this SPL R35 GT-R front bushing kit.

The SPL R35 GT-R front bushing kit is sold as a full set for both front lower control arms, so one kit covers the front of the car. You do not need to order two kits for one vehicle.

What does this bushing actually do?

This is the larger, rearmost bushing in the front lower arm, the one that allows the arm to deflect under load. Replacing the soft rubber with an SPL spherical bearing removes that deflection, so the front geometry holds steady under cornering and braking for sharper response and feedback.

What are the bushings made of?

The SPL R35 GT-R front bushing kit uses FKS Series FK Racing spherical bearings with a self-lubricating Teflon liner, set in CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum shells held to 1/1000th inch, with stainless steel sleeves. The kit is made in the USA.

Will these add noise or vibration?

Somewhat. Spherical bushings transmit more road feel than the OEM rubber they replace, so some added noise and vibration is normal on a street-driven GT-R. Most owners accept the trade-off for the sharper handling the SPL R35 GT-R front bushing kit provides.

Do I need to replace the whole control arm?

No. The SPL R35 GT-R front bushing kit presses into the existing front lower control arms, replacing only the rearmost rubber bushing, so you keep the factory arms and upgrade the bushing that matters most for geometry control.

Description

SPL Parts Front Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit for R35 Nissan GT-R

The SPL R35 GT-R front bushing kit replaces the soft factory rubber bushings in the front lower control arms of the 2009-2019 Nissan GT-R R35 with low-friction articulating spherical bearings, eliminating bushing flex and reducing friction. This is the larger, rearmost bushing in the front lower arm, the one that lets the arm move under load, so holding it solid keeps the front suspension geometry where it belongs during hard cornering and braking for sharper handling and clearer feedback. SPL’s FKS Series bushings run massive FK Racing bearings with a self-lubricating Teflon liner for long life.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
