A70 rear subframe bushes

[HKS_TRD]

Another issue I need to resolve is changing all the bushes in my car, or most of them but in particular my first port of call is going to be the rear subframe bushes, particularly the front ones. Anyone gotten or know of where to get firmer ones?

RonnieK does a rear subframe bushing kit as well as a complete kit for the A70 (front and rear upper and lower suspension + some more) in Polyurethane.

This is the most complete set I have seen.

Not cheap though.

When I have the money I'll invest! (And get the subframes powdercoated)

ive been lookin around for them too, but knowing me im probly going to get them made up from a nice hard nylon, with a stainless crush tube in the middle. Why ? because im a tight arse lol and i like getting things custom made

well the post above yours links to a thread on Supramania with him selling his subframe bushings
so you could PM him on there, or he is also on supraforums.com.au

He lives in New Zealand

-- EDIT --

and yes cheaper, I got my "full kit" (main + Steering Rack + Front Strut Caps + Stock Sway Bars) from him for USD$550 and for the same kit from the link you provided is EURO$639, which is USD$869.04 with current exchange rates

and I got the rear subframe bushings from him for USD$234

(all prices I paid to Ronnie also included shipping)

Damnit, too expensive for me at the moment

OK as I have no clue yet, what are the pros and cons of nylon and polyurethane?

[MR 1JZ]

nylon is way stiffer

[byteme]

yep, they are pretty much the same, except nylon is stiffer, cheaper, and easier to machine

[MR 1JZ]

so if you make some byteme i will buy some from you

[byteme]

hahaha the thing is if i do make them, i will be doing them by hand (an arse load of work). I'll have to see how it goes as trying to set his (machinist's) cnc up for all this is a pain in the arse because its so old. will let ya know though how it goes.
