i had bought some polyurethane bushing before i looked into what it really took to install them. Now that i know the effort required to install them i wanted to know if there is another solution to installing new bushings. i heard something before about putting in aluminum spacers where the bushings belong.

thanks for the help in advance

You got the whole kit for all the bushing for your car, or just for the sub-frame bushings?

you can drop your rear sub frame and do solid alumn bushings like this

or you can buy slotted sub frame collars and just lower the sub frame and slide them in on the bottom and top of the stock rubber ones. the most simple way thats for sure

I secound that. or just throw in the bushings you have now. Lazyness wont get you no where. Get on it.

Sorry but solids are the way to go on an S14, there is nothing that will match them.

Agreed solid subframe bushings (I bought PBM subframe risers to get some geometry correction) and poly diff bushings are the best of both worlds. Solid diff bushings make noise/rattle a bit.
