If yours have never been replaced, I can almost guarantee they're bad. Contact member Bernie in classifieds, I think he charges $25 for the urethane kit and it takes about 10 minutes to install. You'll notice a night/day difference as soon as you install them. Your car should be able to be aligned once you have them installed, but it won't hold an alignment without good rack bushings. This is likely the root of your issues to begin with. As far as brands go, Powertrix has been a loyal vendor to the Z community, so many members support their slightly less-expensive products. However, the collective opinion is that SPL parts are of the highest quality you can purchase, so you can really mix and match brands as for the most part a given part will perform a similar function across the various brands. Other brands like Tein, HKS, GReddy, Whiteline, etc are still great brands as well. I will say that I wouldn't go the cheap ebay route as the quality of the parts is lacking, and if one chintz suspension component breaks during a drive it could be the death of you.
