Hey guys, I want some stiffer than stock rear subframe bushings for my S13 like the discontinued NISMO's or Megan's. It's my DD so I don't want solid aluminum bushings or the collars, just plain polyurethane or stiffer rubber rear subframe bushings. Anyone have some for sale? PM me please!

Look up energy suspension subframe bushings, They are solid poly-urethan and are great for daily cars, They are the same as the s14 rear subframe bushings

Thanks you! Are you sure the S13/S14 are interchangeable with no issues?

Yup I'm running these. The only thing you don't do during installation is remove the inner metal bushings. Burn the old rubber out but leave the metal in. Fit perfect and feel awesome.

+1 I have done this twice. I had a machine shop turn down the top part to raise the subframe and help get the control arms back to stock level.

FYI my 240 is my daily too and every mod I do I carefully consider the performance value versus the ride quality loss whenever I do a suspension mod. A smooth ride is paramount for a daily, especially here where the roads are FUCT. I did subframe collars on my car and have no complaints. It's not like solid motor mounts where the car rattles your teeth out. It feels almost the same, just without the slop in the rear end. Add ease of installation to the scenario, and collars start looking pretty good. Just my $0.02

I have a set of the ES INSERTS for S13 bushings - they firm up the mussy frame feel.

$20 shipped.
