So I was doing a little xmas shopping for myself, so of course I had to do a little shopping for the 240 too! Anyways, I found that Drop Engineering now makes rear subframe spacers for the s13/s14!! If I don't pick these up for an xmas present for her, I'm definitely going to have to invest in them before drifting season again! I'm excited to see the difference between stock and these... should be a much better ride! Just thought you guys could get some use out of these too!! :biggrin:

yeah but the C shape that these come in make them easier to install than most because you don't have to remove the rear subframe.

I never noticed a difference with mine.

Get the actual solid bushings/subframe risers if you want awesomeness. Same price, too.

Meh, solid bushings seem to run around $40-$50 more expensive than just the collars, if you're talking about the same brand (SPL vs SPL, Stance vs Stance) But they're definitely worth it. Wasn't it SPL that first came out with those C shaped collars about 10 years ago?

Haha the OP was so happy but you all knocked him down. I cant wait to get my new subframe so I can get me some ES bushings. But I read that solid bushings dont feel too bad for DDing. Anyone have any input on this
