I recently installed the Whiteline rear subframe bushing kit in my 2003 drift car, thought some might find it useful on here.

Finally getting around to replacing the rear subframe bushings...

The new bushing kit:

I can tell you the stock bushings were completely worn out and these make a huge difference in the way the car drives and drifts. Highly recommend this to all who track or agressively drive their Z's or G's.

Yeah, I debated going solid with them but I have the solid diff mounts and bushing and thought it would be too much. I still DD the car too.

AZ350,

You may wanna watch the shop doing the work on your car man......

both calipers hanging by the oem rubber lines???, drive shaft hanging and getting scratched from exhaust flanges, not protected from being damaged....remember its a Carbon fiber drive shaft....

also, you may wanna build a diff catch can, you can see all the residual diff fluid and dirt residue on your subframe......maybe even a quick fill port..

The pictorial representation tells more about the installation process than the words. I was planning to install the same with my 2005 350Z. I just wanna know whether it will suit for my car?
