i am currently looking into aluminum bushings for both my subframe and diff. Can't seem to decide between Stance and SPL bushings and was hoping for some feedback from people that have experience with these brands or even if there is a better brand that i should look into

SPL is cheaper correct? Get SPL they have good products from all the hype I hear about them. It's just aluminium cut to a certain shape, never heard of anyone having an issue with any aluminium bushings they bought...

SPLparts has new "adjustable" subframe bushings. I bought the old ones last month, I should have waited for these. Atop that, they are in the same price range.

Wow thats pretty cool actually, considering my subframe spacers probably raised my car up 1/4"

I didn't want to have to cut out/torch out my bushings tho.

I just ordered it but then noticed that both subframe and diff bushings say z32 so was wondering if the bushings for the z32 is the same as s14

Shoot them an email and let them know, just to be sure. That would suck to recieve them and then come to find out they dont fit...all because their order form is messed up. Hell Give them a call about 9am central time Monday morning
