locoluna825 is an unknown quantity at this point
I used both halfs of the bushings. I had trimmed the bottom half of the bushing in that photo. I Found out later, I didnt have to. I just helped a friend with his. Were both using s14 subframe bushings in our s13's. But the problem you are having is EXACTLY the same.

With his bushings we didnt do any trimming. and used just two washers with the whole bushing in there. IT squezed it in there real good and squished it down when we tightened it up. Making a nice tight fit. Sort of an improvement over mine. but the basic idea works and the subframe does not move, At all. His used to clunk when he shifted and wheel hope like hell during burn outs. NO more.

Ive had mine like That^^ for 2 years now. Only reason I replaced mine becuase I replaced the entire subframe out. and decided to do the bushings at the same time. Accidently ordering s14 bushings and hence what you see in the picture above. Tried buying the s13 subrframe bushings from ES but you cant seem to ever get them anymore becuase theyre ALWAYS out of stock.

I think theyre better overal than the s13 subframe bushings becuase there 2 peice like a solid alluminum bushing and the actual s13 ES bushing are like 6 different pieces LOL. On top of that I didnt notice any noise level increase or vibration like you get from the solid alluminum bushings.
