I have a extra set you can have for shipping bro, 2 actually. I should probably keep one set just so I have more s*** to move across the country in Oct. I need to install my R32 wheels and buy a set of tires for the back. What time frame do you need these wheels in? I'm in the middle of repainting the house so I'm kinda busy, but I may be able to get some things done. Assuming you'll get me a hooker or something to be named later out in CA :chuckle:

The underside of your car is very clean Razi. What difference, if any, have you noticed with them?

The rear doesn't feel like it's floating around when I accelerate out of a corner.

My car always felt like it was oversteering slightly when I accelerated out of a corner, but it was just the bushings giving in.

Driving around, I can't tell any added noise until I start engine braking and sometimes the diff noise gets a bit loud, but I also have my rear interior out at the moment so that might contribute to the extra noise. Haha.

Also, my rear felt like it was connected to the car via rubber bands during sudden acceleration or engine braking from the squishy old bushings and that made the car feel like it was jerking back and forth.
Now it doesn't do that, and the response feels quicker.

It was pretty easy to install.
For the front two, you gotta jack the car up to lift it off the subframe/suspension or you won't have space to put em on.

They also aren't slotted like the regular aluminum ones, just has a small cut, you can tell on the left bushing in the pic:

It's annoying trying to try and stretch em while trying to slip em over the bolts since the bushings are pretty stiff, but it isn't impossible.

I just found myself a great beater car for free!!! 1996 Mazda protege with a new HG, water pump, radiator, and a few other things. 40mpg on the hwy :) Getting it from a family member as a gift since they don't need it, and it has so many miles that they wouldn't get much at all for it selling it outright. But it runs good, will keep gas money in my pocket, and let me go back to using the 240 as a weekend/back-up car. I know it's not a manly car, but i have school to pay for, so free works for me!

Spooled, I'll be able to do the wheel thing when I get to my S14...just don't know when that will be. Could be awhile.

My subframe bushings are all basically worn or gone. It's like driving a boat :chuckle: I need like 2500 worth of stuff just to be at par.

Looks good Razi, if anybody is interested in tightening up their bushings I found a real nice site . Good deals for the best prices around, over $119 free shipping. The coolest thing was after I ordered I got a follow up email say that they could not verify that all my bushings came with directions so they sent me pdf copies. Also they have a full bushing kit for $135 and it comes strut rod, and steering rack bushings. I ended up piecing mine cause I got some adjustable RLCA's and bought every thing else seperate and added diff. bushngs for under $30.

if for some reason you don't like prothane they have

Hope this helps somebody
