Try one of our many sponsors...Midway parts team has NISMO bushings.I have the solid aluminum ones from SPL and are the best upgrade that I did to my car, besides the turbo....

did they add much vibration?

i whould recommend highly against solidits not worth the time or energy or the things that will break, and if you track (my friends who drift broke things, road race may be different) your car you will break things!its better to run the subframe spacer (top and bottom type) msot of the time your subframe bushigns are FINE. most people jsut assume they are destroy, its not so common it is. you should drop your subframe before making the assumption it IS the bushings. it takes about an hour to drop the subframe, very easy to do.

i would suggset getting another subframe and swapping and doing everything you want on that frame then put it up.

subframe spacers will def eliminate most of yoru swap.

any mod to the subframe will give back some noise..spacesr do and solid one def do.

not so much vibratation is it is noise and you hear how the car is more obvious...its hard to describei jsut woke up, but definitely NOT vibration.

I didn't notice any vibrations from the rear cause I don't sit back there. They did add a lot of noise, mostly differential whine, but I can live with that. Personally, I think it sounds cool, I like to hear what my car sounds like.

My old bushings were completely worn out and was causing a huge amount of wheel hop. The solid spacers removed 75% of that and new nismo engine and transmission mounts removed some more. Point being, I wanted to get rid of wheel hop and this works. It also handles the corners better, no more of the soupy rear end sway.

I get more vibration from the engine and transmission mounts then the subframe spacers.

I don't understand by the reference as to things breaking. What is going to break from installing these? The stock bushings are designed for ride comfort and noise insulation and NOT performance handling. If I left the stockers in there would've eventually ruined my u-joints, differential and probably caused accelerated wear on my transmission. That's what would break if I had not fixed it.

What's a bushin anyways? Isn't it bushing? Or is it amazingly difficult to click on the spell check box? Oh, it should be bush-in.

my friends car broke axles w/ the solid subframebut his car makes 350 HP full track car for drifting, so fo most i wouldnt do it

for me i wont either, track car and 350 in about..mm 2-4 months after i pull and rebuild the motor. everything else is solid, i have no wheel hop. use solid motor mounts (but that doesnt affect wheel hop) and subframe spacers on a s14 subframe (for s14 car). my s13 had just the stock subframe, but it wasn a s15 onsubframe on the s13.

anyways..do as you wish but its not worth the work.

as far as ujoints on the diff, on the s13 there ARE no ujoints, its solidly mounted to the subframe, unless your on a s14 where the front two bolts are bushing mounted.

as far as wear on the transmission NO because the transmission wont be affected by bushings. what are you talking about??? maybe ur transmission would get affected if u didnt have fluid in there.

as far as handling i ran stock s13 subframe all suspension arms, good coilvoers and there's no 'swoopy feel' my friends the same way. set up a car wel and its solid w/o dropping subfrrames. get adj aftermarket arms and some rear sway bar and its solid if not TOO solid and twitchy.

btw ive talked w/ kuah (Splparts.com), he said it wasnt even worth it, btw im sponsored by SPLParts.com...you can check if u dont believe me, SPLParts.com talk w/ kuah, my name is aaron, PINK GODZIRA, ive been w/ kuah and hooked up by splparts for over 3 years, i LOVE splparts.all my suspensio is from them and so is myfriends (aaron and lindsay we both are good friends with kuah). all my Defi BF gauges (and link) all suspension arms, and tons of misc stuff i buy from kuah. ive been waiting for the new seat (bucket) to come out because i need a bucket passenger for the track car. lindasy's car was theone of the test cars for the z32 setup before he released it. iirc we tried some other stuff on our cars before he sold them to the public. kuahs been helping us out for about 3 years now. he's a great guy, and came to cali a few times for z meets and driving stuff...nice guy. with a wicked awesome car! and veryknowledgable, but im getting off topic now..anyawys...

personally i would recommend away from it, get aftermarket arms, subfrme apscers and somegood coilovers. its worth it. less headache easy install and u dont need to drop the subframe (as long as you get the top split type). a good alignment good coilovers and tire setup is enough to keep your car solid, and feeling great. its worked for me for bout 3 years+ on both my s13 and s14 and my friends' cars.

WTF third person?

Links will get rid of wheel hop faster than subframe bushings.

I have the full aluminums and no links (weaksos) I don't mind them, they aren't that bad, I think as long as you have a sprung clutch you'll be fine in the driveline wear department. My car only wheel hops in the rain in when its not slipping much.

Man, I can barely remember what my car felt like stock and I don't know many people with stock S13s... much less stock S13s that drive hard.

Kuah's cool as ****... The only reason not to buy from SPL is if you want to see how much you can spend on links or how quickly they'll rust out.
