I know that I need new rear subframe bushings (as well as every other bushing on my car) but I'm not sure whether I want to go with aluminum inserts with hard rubber from NIP or Nismo bushings. I've done some searching, but I haven't seen anyone compare these two in particular. Thanks for the help.

I have had polyurethane,hard rubber,and steel.....My s14 had alot of slop(not as bad as the s13's)small axle hop issues , the rear subframe felt like it wanted to have a seizure when I launched it hard!!!! gts-t diff + old bushings = fail

My opinion is rubber for the street.....much smoother,absorbed alot of shock made a great difference.....

Polyurethane for street and strip....Not quite as smooth absorbed alot of shock at the cost of a harsher ride...Fair difference

Steel for track and strip only....Really harsh compared to others...absorbed everything but was insane in terms eliminating wheel hop/ wheel slop...

Hope that helps
