I've seen 15x9's with negative offset. Other than that there's not much to chose from. Everyone runs a wider wheel instead of skinny wheels with super low offset. That's really the whole point of widebody, to get wider wheels to fit. I don't even worry what my car looks like drifting. Steelies all day on the track. As long as it looks good on the street i'm happy.

Maybe I'll get the collars, and if the clunk returns, pack silicone caulk on the bushings, and then just put the collar back on..... |

They don't really affect the ductility or stiffness of the bushing. After I put new OEM bushings in I was happy with the feedback. I still had a clunk when backing up as the sub-frame shifts the load from reverse to forward. Putting collars in reduced the limits. Rear end didn't droop when unsupported anymore. Didn't notice an increase in NHV. But, no more clunking.

Anybody know the CORRECT thread pitch/size of the screws that hold the plastic spark plug cover on? It's a S14 SR, (same one in my signature), don't think it's different between engine types but just to be specific. Thanks dudes

Do it right, or sell the car to someone who will and go buy a Honda Civic if you want to do ghetto repairs

I'm specifically NOT burning my subframe (good-bye heat treating), so that I can, when I have time and a big enough press, get aluminium bushings. Go get on people who think a blowtorch is how you remove bushings, or the retarded companies that make bushings specifically to fit in the remnants of half-removed, blowtorched bushings. So with all due respect, go fuck yourself. I need something to make my car drivable without hammering the whole rear end every time I start from a standstill, until I can do the whole job. Caulk won't kill the car, or hurt anything in any way. As it doesn't seem that anyone makes these, I'm considering trying to make it steel inserts that crush into the bushing, and do make it totally solid by bridging the gap between the two metal pieces of the bushing with a bit of epoxy to hold them in place and prevent even minor movement or chattering, without any damage to the subframe, or to any part except the already-shot bushings.

Just get solid bushings you twat. The factory subframe isn't "heat treated" and people have been doing them forever with no problems.

Here's an idea, buy the parts you need and take a weekend fix your POS.

It's rather ironic that you're chamipining doing things the right way..... but totally okay with doing it the absolute wrong way, and burning out press-fit bushings. If the subframe's not heat treated, it's because you fucked it up with a blowtorch. ALL steel is inherently heat treated, how it's heated and how it cools effects it's ductility, brittleness, elasticity, fatigue, etc. I bet you also blowtorch your suspension bolts, and reuse them....

Guess that's just bred into me. But unlike you, I've got shit to do, and won't have more than a few hours at a time for months, while needing my car daily. According to technotoy tuning, their collars contact the metal rings on both sides of the bushings. Going to try them, and if they are not preforming well at the end of the semester when I've got the time, I'll press in hard rubber or aluminium. |

Nevertheless, it's not AKI, simply a chemical that is related to it, as are dozens of others, from benzine to tetraethyl lead. |

Hmm. Anyway, you seem to have missed the octane/aki/motor oil discussion. Simply, having octane an a component is no guarantee of AKI, or lack thereof. ie. ethanol, with NO octane, greatly raising AKI. |

Just wondering what you guys do to protect your FMIC from getting beat up from bumps in the road and such? I'm not even that low and the bottom of my intercoolers is taking a beating. Any suggestions besides avoid the bumps, because I try to?
