Okay so here's a question for you guys concerning subframe collars and bushings.

When you install any type of collar (solid aluminum, urethane, etc) they only remove the slop temporarily? Why is this?

Also as far as installing the complete Nismo bushing set, once this set starts to wear out (5-8 years), can you just throw in some collars and it's just like new? If so, for how long?

I was under the assumption that solid collars are a permanent fix, not a band-aid.

Any elaboration is appreciated.
