I see that Whiteline sells polyurethane sub-frame bushing inserts to save the hassle of replacing the bushings, but what if I do want to replace the bushings entirely? Does anyone make polyurethane subframe bushings for an S13, or can I maybe stack the Whiteline inserts?

I have them. I havent installed them, because it rquires me to remove my sub-frame, burn and cut out the old bushings, and try and manuver the press around the sub frame to put the new ones in.

SPL parts and a few japanese mfr. make alluminum sub frame bushings.-chet

Nismo makes the sub-frame bushing too...although they are rubber. I have yet to install mine for all the same reasons Chet stated. I do need them badly though.

Depending upon how shot your bushing are, you might just want to get the sub-frame spacer/collars from SPLparts.com.

Instead of a full bushing, its 'squishes' the stock bushing and makes them stiff/stiffer. The top collar is notched for ease of installation so you don't have to drop the whole subfrace, just loosen.

85$ for the set.

or instead of spending $85, go to home depot and get a handfull of washers. I can't remeber exactly what size washers... there's a thread on FA about it, do a search there for "drift washers"
