 2G awd polyurethane rear subframe bushings
here are the 1st (to my knowledge) polyurethane rear subframe bushings these work with the oem spacers with some minor trimming of some rubber on each spacer. they are made with the same polyurethane i use on the rear differential bushings that RRE stocks. check them out!

 Re: 2G awd polyurethane rear subframe bushings
Another awesome looking product. I was wondering if I gave you motor mounts with the rubber removed, can you have them filled in the style you're doing your bushings?

Wow, injecting polyurethane is that pricey?

 Re: 2G awd polyurethane rear subframe bushings
No its not so much the poly but i would have to make a mold to hold each part so there is something to stop the poly from falling out the other side. to make the molds and have the poly done for say all four of our motor mounts would run about $180 in pure cost which would include shipping and the aluminum to make the molds. now that price doesnt cover me running around buying material and dropping parts off.
about $100 of that is aluminum and machining the molds so if i were to make them again my cost would run about $80 but in order for me to make some $ i would have sell them for about $100 + shipping to whoever buys them + i would need your mounts so you would have to ship them to me 1st, so theres another $15 approx
so even after i make the 1st set and have everything i need to make more i cant really compete with ES or prothane
now if its a custom mount that no one makes like my differential bushings i have no competition so no worries that someone beat my price
hope this makes sense and clears up the real process behind this stuff

 Re: 2G awd polyurethane rear subframe bushings
Clears everything up and I'm still willing to do it in the future if you will take on the process. I'd first have to scour some mounts to give you so if you're interested, lmk so I can go pick up an extra set. I really like how your injection comes out in your bushings and want some of that on my mounts so I'm totally down for paying the extra bucks.

 Re: 2G awd polyurethane rear subframe bushings
well do you like the shiny look or the dull look? or just because its black? i could actually make copies of the ES bushings and i think i could even maybe imprint on the poly itself "LADSM" using a raised sticker or something. this would only be on the driver side mount cuz you cant see the others
i could make everything cheaper doing it this way and if we could get a few people in on it it would be even cheaper.
maybe we should start a new thread with all this info in it

 Re: 2G awd polyurethane rear subframe bushings
You can start some type of group buy I remember I ran into a old thread of yours and there were a couple of people interested in your bushings.

 Re: 2G awd polyurethane rear subframe bushings
i think Sam is the only one on this board who has my poly diff bushings on his car. im not aware of anyone else running them
ive sold over 30 sets of the rear diff bushings and only one person from ladsm has em lol.
if christ wants them and no one else its gonna cost alot but if theres several others it will cut the price alot even if there were only 3-5 sets
im down to make them now its up to you guys. what i would need:
all four motor mounts in half decent shape and a set of ES bushings.
i could do 1g and 2g and i would be making full replacemnts for the front and rears on the 2g's just like the 1g's have
