I'm in the market for some subframe collars/spacers, came across some made by spoon (weird I know, thought they only made Honda parts) Now they have a rear set for the subframe which is quite common and have seen many different sets available from different manufacturers, but they also have a front set which I'm assuming is for the front member/cross member see below: http://www.rhdjapan.com/spoon-subframe-rigid-collar-kit-front-nissan-s13-s14-s15-er34-z32.html I can understand the benefits for the rear but I'm not so sure if crossmember collars would be neccesary, could anyone chime in on this? Any input would be appreciated.
The rear sets are meant to sit ontop of the subframe bushes and make the subframe rigid, I have no idea where or what the front set would do.
They are just your typical subframe slip in collars. I think the translation is just muddled up. they probably mean front bushes on the rear subframe. They come in sets of 8, as you have a slip in part on the top and also a spacer for the bottom. you can get cheaper alternatives than them, I actually borrowed a set of s13 slip in collars (ebay spec alloy ones) and measured and copied them and made my own. Put them in a few days ago and made a massive difference to driving, actually feels as though the suspension gets used (if that makes sense), and you dont get any tramp. they are a little bumpier but not any more annoying then coilovers haha.
