After removing everything on the under side of my car and having it powder coated I'm now in the process of getting it all back together. Whilst rebuilding all engine and transmission mounts have been uprated, as have all other suspension bushes.
However..... I'm struggling to find replacement bushes for the rear subframe. I removed rubber ones.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've had a look round but can't really find anything

Cheers

 

I was looking into this not so long ago.
Flo flex was the only company I found that were offering them.
On my type r though the rear subframe has solid metal bushes so I ended up not replacing those.

 

Yeah I've just been looking at the flex flo.
My understanding was all the jdm sti's had the steel insert type, where as the uk stuff and the wrx's had rubber.
I'd happily replace withe the steel type if I knew where to get them

I'm not sure where you'd get the solid ones from.
It maybe worth getting hold of an sti subframe from one of the breakers.

 

Have you tried import car parts, I'm going to be rebushing the rear over winter, update the thread if you find any , are the solid mounts that much better than polybushing

 

Joe is it T bar bushes you're looking to replace?

 

I've got an sti one from my ra, I just had my spare powder coated, I may consider trying to press the bushes out of that

I spoke to ICP and they can only supply rubber one's which they told me all classics have.

For the Tbar, I'm going to fit whiteline outrigger bushes, whiteline manufacture a proper bush for this, whereas other company's do an insert for the stand rubber bush.

I'm now considering machining a set up out of aluminium and solid mounting it

Will see if I can find anything solid mounted

 

Cheers pal that's much appreciated, I've spent days looking for a suitable solution.
By the looks of things the part number that I'm after is RST-2022
I'll send them an email and see when they can get them to me, ideally I want them this week but we shall see. Cheers again pal
