Get some stiffer springs all round with reduced height of at least 35mm.
Run a 50 sidewall profile tyre at the most. toyo 205-50-15 tyres will work well,
Replace your front dampers If you have not already
Fit a front strutt brace

I have nearly new front anti roll bar bushes from datsun but was thinking of polybushing them and the drag links.
I'm liking the idea of lower and stiffer springs , are they available of the shelf ? , was pitching diving and rolling all over like a sea trawler in a storm on the track . Will filling the shock tubes with atf fluid be ok or should i upgrade them ?
Can i keep the origonal wheels if i run the toyo 205-50-15's?

yes the original wheels will be fine with those tyres.

I am trying to supply uprated springs off the shelf myself at the moment. But it will be about 4-6 weeks before i have a batch, if i get onto it pretty soon.

until then you could get some made from a custom spring company. there has been a few threads recently from others who have had them made.

I would just replace the dampers. I bet you they are nackered and that is whats giving you the floaty wandery drive. Silvias have been given a reputation for being wandery and bouncy on the suspension, as if its a factory floor. But its because most of them are all shagged and have weak dampers lol
