s13 solid subframe mounts

[Turbo_Turtle88]

I have an 89 240sx I'm looking to install solid subframe bushings on and I have been checking out the kits online. My reason for posting this is to find out if anyone recommends a kit over any other ones. I'm just looking for the best bang for the buck.

Metal is mostly metal, so they are all roughly the same.

It's going to be a pain in the ass to do the full bushing unless your subframe is already out of the car. Honestly I'd suggest just using collars. My felt like shit, put the collars on and it felt so much more planted.

i did spl solids on my s13, it was a bit of work (removing the subframe) but they were defiantly worth the money i paid. cant say how they feel because i still haven't finished my car

I will be dropping the sub frame for this

Well you have to drop it to install these bushings. You should probably brace the subframe up while its out, and paint clean it.

Planned on that as well I'm also installing all new ruca toe and torsion

For the most part, you will not notice a difference between differing brands of solid bushings assuming that you're comparing two bushings of the same style. If you don't already know, there are traditional bushings, where the bushing sticks out both the top and the bottom of the subframe and the subframe is mounted in the same (or close) position as stock. There are also subframe risers, which move the subframe closer to the chassis, the most aggressive units will have the subframe touching the chassis - and others are adjustable which allows you to tilt the subframe front to back to change some geometry.

Personally, I prefer risers to standard bushings since the roll center correction and additional underbody clearance help solve a handful of issues. PBM makes a good set of risers, as does Stance (they lighten their risers too), there are a handful of copies of both of those around, and the SPL kit is probably the 'best' riser since it allows you the most freedom with where the subframe actually is.

Fro is right. I mean, unless you are going to run the subframes back to back with different bushings, you won't notice a difference between one metal vs another metal. Pick whichever color you like best...
