I want to replace my bushings on my s13 coupe- dd/drift events (monthly or more if poss.)
I am going to get tanabe sustec pro coilovers.
would getting aluminum bushings be to harsh of a ride with the coilovers?
I plan on doing more serious drifting in the future, would the polyurathane be adequate.
Or should I mix the two????? :gotme

I already searched about it but got mixed answers.

Thanks a mill$$$$$ :bigthumb:

I just finished installing all new bushings and suspension components on my car and it include aluminum subframe bushings. So far my opinion is that it doesn't feel to harsh if you are really looking for a real sporty type feel over stock. You will feel more of the bumps than before but that just might be my coilovers. There is a lot of drive train noise and an odd knocking sound every time I put the clutch in but everything is tight and secure.

Also it is easier to get sideways I have noticed with the solid bushings.
