One of my subframe bushings seems kinda messed up. The bolt that goes through it is at an angle, so I guess the rubber has decayed to the point that it can't really support it too much any more. Would it be okay to get some SPL subframe spacers for my bushings, or shoudl i replace them and get spacers, or just get the solid aluminum ones?

Typically if your bushings are still somewhat there you can get away with the spacers, but when they are gone you should go with the full bushing replacement.

Honestly the ride quality isn't effected as much as everyone thinks.

I'llhave to take a good long look at them some day, see how bad they really are. Eventually I'd like to get SPL RUCAs/traction rods/toe rods/tension rods/tie rods...and KTS coilovers...but I'll have to save up some cash first. I imagine that would be quite a good suspension setup if I were to get it aligned properly and if i got some nice sticky tires.
