New Product, Solid rear subframe bushing inserts

[becauseican]

OK well finally I am now stocking the Nylon rear subframe bushing spacers for sale. I have been driving my car with them for a year now and they are great. There is no more wheel hop and the suspension response is much crisper now, the car doesnt fell "floaty" anymore. It is a very solid feeling. There is a little more road noise transmitted to the body. If you have a noisy diff or gears you will hear them allot more now. My diff was noisy to begin with and now I can hear it more while cruising on the freeway.

The spacers are installed between the subframe and the body of the car. The subframe will need to be lowered and the old rubber spacer that are currently between the subframe and the car will need to be removed replaced with the Nylon ones.

INSTALLATION NOTES: There are six nylon spacers and two metal washers included in each set. Once you have the subframe lowered and the old spacers removed, its a good idea to take a wire brush and clean the body and subframe surfaces of rust, dirt etc., before installing the nylon spacers. The two metal washers go ONLY on the rear two subframe bushings, place the washers on the subframe first, then put the nylon spacer on top. The rear two stock bushings are slightly taller than the front ones, so they need to be spaced about an extra 1/8" with the washer. It is not a hard job and can be done in about an hour or two, with a good floor jack.

The price is $120 + $20 shipping.

[John Reaume]

Paypal funds sent

[supra90turbo]

email sent, randy... you can really disregard what was said, as I just paypaled you..

[becauseican]

The last set of spacers is sold, is anyone else interested?, I am just wondering if I should have more made?.

[JonnyRedline]

i vote yes because i need a set also :)

[zombie]

I'll put in a vote for yes as I would like to get a set (wonder what shipping to Aust would run me)

[SupraOfDoom]

Sweet, I'll be picking some up soon if you make more.

[PHILLYSUPRA]

randy: you might as well make a whole gang of them. ill be looking for them sometime early next year.

[becauseican]

OK, I will start on the next batch, it will probably be a few weeks though.

[91SupraTurbo]

I will buy a set out of the next batch.

[supra90turbo]

Got mine today Randy!
I figured these would have a lip or something to center themselves in the subframe.. They dont seem like they'd control the fore/aft movement very well.

[becauseican]

They stay centered on the sleeve of the existing bushing. Once its sanwiched and bolted down tight, it cant move, and neither can the subframe.

Just make sure you remove the existing spacers from between the subframe and the body.

[supra90turbo]

Alright. I trust your work Randy. I'll let you know in about 3 years how they are.. lol

[marc3]

i'm gonnawant a set of these as well soon!!!!!!!!!!!nice product by the way!!

[zombie]

I just thought I'd ask, but what about the front subframe? :)

[becauseican]

I just thought I'd ask, but what about the front subframe? :)

I will work on that over the winter, I have some other chassis, suspension ideas I am working on.

[Yellow 13]

$120 is a good deal, what are the +/- versus poly-urethane bushings?

[supra90turbo]

Downside to these, y13 is there will be more NVH.
Upside, less subframe movement compared to poly.

excuse my ignorance, but what is NVH? :)

[91SupraTurbo]

Any new word on the new sets that you are gonna be making up. Let me know when your ready and ill send you the money. Thanks

[aphxero]

Will this fit the MX83 subframe? Mine are very loose and I've been looking for something like this. Do you have measurements perhaps?

[supra90turbo]

NVH: Noise Vibration Harshness. It's what the automakers stay away from when they make hollow rubber squishy bushes.
I <3 NVH. lol

[Yellow 13]

Ill be in for a set of these later this year. Maybe the end of this month.

thanks for that info supra90turbo :)

[mkIIIman089]

Randy, how long do you think it will be until another set of these will be ready?

[91SupraTurbo]

Randy, I'll be looking to out my subframe back in within the next month or two. Will there be a new set made by then. Possible to get a group buy going so u can make a bunch in one shot.

[MK3_300]

When you get some more ready to sell, I'll have money waiting for you. :icon_bigg

[zombie]

*bump*

[becauseican]

I should have another batch ready in November.

[91SupraTurbo]

I reserve a set of those of that is ok/

[Tearlessj]

I want some too. Can you pm me when you have some?

[shaeff]

randy, hook me up. i'm pulling the subframe over the winter to possibly reinforce it, and coat it with POR 15. these are a must! :)

let me know when the next batch is available.

-shaeff

[OneJArpus]

PM me when read for 140 bucks i can't pass this up. I spend more on cigs

[zombie]

any word on when these will be available? :)

[starscream5000]

I want a set too, are they ready, cuz I'm ready to pay now ;). I would also like your subframe reinforcement plate kit. Do you include the two bars that are welded across the top also? LMK.

Thanks!

[bwest]

Hey, Randy-

availability on these?

Thanks-

[MK3_300]

Randy, are you planning to make any more of these inserts? If you do I'll have money ready as soon as they are ready.

[madseacow]

I'd like a set aswell

[becauseican]

Yes I am still working on the next batch. Sorry guys, I have just been sooo busy. I am thinking of making them out of a High density Nylon instead of aluminium. It will not transmit as much noise / NVH and it should be a little cheaper scince the price of aluminum and other metals is going up everyday. Would you guys still be interested?, I also sent an email about a group buy to the mods, but I havent heard back yet.

[mkIIIman089]

Whats the difference in long term durability between the nylon and Al?

[becauseican]

I think the nylon will last just as long.........remember the Nylon suspension bushings that used to be available years ago?, I havent heard of any problems with those, and those are all on moving, wearing suspension parts. The BIC inserts are sandwiched between and dont move.

[bwest]

I think that is a great idea Randy. I don't know if you were looking to have them sleeved at the bolt hole, but the nylon should be a big improvement over the stock rubber (new or not) without being as harsh as the alum (sound wise).

[Van Diesel]

Doing them in nylon? Put me down for a set!

[buckshotglass]

I might be in for this (the new style, I guess,) depending on the time frame.

[madseacow]

yup, still intrested in nylon

[Doward]

I'd be down for a set in nylon!

[bwest]

[mobes]

Put me down as interested in nylon.

[becauseican]

I should have an eta this week on when they will be done.

[mkIIIman089]

OK, you can count me in for whenever they come out... I'll be watchin this thread.

[becauseican]

I am thinking on doing a group buy for these, I am awaiting approval now.

Randy

[becauseican]
