Hey guys, I've been doing research on what the best master bushing kit would be for my s13, I plan on only daily driving it.
One page says to just burn out the old bushings and leave the pressed sleeves in and put new bushings in, then the other says to burn the bushings out then use a saw to carefully cut the metal sleeve out without damaging anything important.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm trying to order the bushing kit tonight.
I'm mostly focusing on both front and rear subframes if that helps, but all together I'm changing every single bushing on the vehicle.

If you're going with an ES kit (good stuff btw), then some keep sleeves and some don't. It will come with instructions with pictures. Each bushing is kind of unique and it depends on where it's getting installed. Pay attention as you go and plan for an alignment when you're all done. If you have any questions about specific bushings, ask here. I suggest waiting until you have your kit and have started work before asking questions. A lot will be answered just by looking at your new bushings and old suspension pieces. But when you have both in front of you and the instructions, and you're still lost, the maybe post a picture or two and ask your question. This thread is probably a good place to do that (instead of creating a bunch of smaller threads).
