[BILL25]

I am just wondering if anybody has tried these subframe bushings?
I got a set for 23$ usd including shipping to Canada.

Are they junk or did I get a good deal

Not sure I agree with the $175 MSRP.......uhhh. But......the DIY slots would make these things okay to try, as long as you didnt fug them up too much slotting them. I'd try it....for as inexpensive as they seem.

For the guys who have the slotted aluminum version of these.......how wide does the slot have to be?

[Dustbunnie]

yeah..second that. $20 shipped plus 2 minutes of bandsaw usage, and you have $80 or whatever worth of parts...theres not much to them, if they fit (which mine did), then you're set. I haven't driven on em yet though

[TokyoNights]

Bah now youre bootleging shit
I use aluminum anyway, the nylon are for pussies

[Pepperoni]

Mine were cheap and are polyurethane i believe, i didnt make slots in em. pain in the ass to drop the subframe, but they work very well. make slots in em if u dont want to spend time/have the tools to adjust the subframe back into place.

[Pepperoni]

o ya, heres an up-close pic to the ones you/i bought

i wanted to try these out also coz it's soo cheap compared to the aluminum ones... i'm all 15 bux for shipping + cost. doesn't sound too bad.... does it seem durable? is the material softer than aluminum? make sure to let us know how they are. i ended up gettin aluminum ones.

[Pepperoni]

Ive used em for a while now and they're very durable. They're probably softer if not the same as aluminum. im very happy with them especially for the price..

BEWARE OF CHEAP ALUMINUM

BUSHINGS; THEY ARE KNOWN TO

CAUSE LOUD CLUNKING NOISE!


Hahahah what a joke, i guess that guy has never driven a race car before, or heard a new LSD working.
he would probably think he car is falling apart.

why is it hard to drop subframe??

[sr240mike]

The top ones are kind of a biatch to install if they are not slotted. The bottoms go on in seconds. I have the delrin ones and so far so good. It took a bit of slop out of the rear end, less wheel hop too.

[89s132b]

I have these same spacers. I slotted the top ones (very easy). They work well and do not make any noise (beware of those loud aluminum ones - haha).

Although I am not sure they compress the bushings as much as other spacers do. Has anyone taken measurements?

It's not hard, just involved, and when you raise it back up it always likes to stick on one end, nice to have an extra set of hands at the least.

[SimpleSexy180]

oic thx..20 minutes or less ey? how would i slot them...? becuase i won these on ebay yesterday :)

[Heartwork]

If they're urethane or something softer, use a hacksaw. Cut a section about an inch wide.

Go under the car, support the diff with a floorjack, unbolt all four points and lower it slightly, slide the top bushings in, raise it back up and place the lower ones in with the attaching hardware, tighten, go drive it.

Literally 20 minutes.

[BILL25]

R24ONA & All Thanks for the responses and advice.
So based on the response I think I got my 23$ bucks worth :)

PEPPERONI: thanks for the pics,,they look way better that the stock ones I currently ride on
I think I am going to buy another set for my friend

89s132b:Pretty much what I wanted to hear,,,did you use any lube like the kind that comes with energy suspension products?Any squeeking sounds ?

dropping subframe aint chit mang!! Get the ride on a lift and go to town. Can do all the work while standing. Did mines like that. Aluminun non-c notched. BTW, you can tell the diff in poly/notched vs nonotch vs aluminum/notch vs nonotch alum. As for all the morons who want you to go ahead and cut your brand new bushings, flip them a quick one cus they're full of chit. I'm not going to get too deep into it, but what's stronger/more stable, a full circle or a line where the ends meet.

Last but not least, if you never see track time, nevermind me.

AGREED!!!!

[vegita319]

So is aluminum really that much rougher and clunks that bad?

[SimpleSexy180]

thx well immah try not cutting them :coold: but thx so ill know next time.

[andrewrr]

i have both aluminum and those plastic collars for my car. got the aluminums for 50 and the blue plastics for 30. the aluminum seem to be of a higher quality and design, so i'll prolly use the aluminum ones for my car and slot the plastic ones to go into my dads r32. here's a side-by-side comparison of the two. the slot is exactly 1inch accross if anyone wants to know.

nice side by side pic.

[bryfrase]

I have the cheap blue ones on my car, used a rotary tool with cutting wheel. took about 5minutes for all four tops. It's not a big deal at all. I cut mine pretty close, the slot I made was no where as big as the ones in the aluminum. I wound up haveing to bump them in past the bolt in the center with a hammer but that was about the extent of it.

[MikeFD3S]

fleabay cheapness = :poop:

[ruthlesstyper]

so aluminum is better or worse?
