I'm selling a set 4 Greg Dupree Subframe Spacers (red) for the Z32. They are unused. I decided to go with another subframe setup. They didn't come with directions, but I'll include the ones that I printed off of a Z tech site. They've been sitting in a box in my garage for 4 months. I paid $60 (shipping included). I'd like to get what I paid for them. PM me if you're interested.

what exactly do they do?

What the spacers do is pre-load the stock rubber bushings so the body does not float separately from the subframe. Stock, the body floats about an inch before the suspension does anything. Installing the Spacers will cause the Zs body to lean much less. One of the reasons Zs wheel hop is because the sub frame is mounted loosely causing the subframe to bounce up and down.
Pre-loading the stock bushings results in much more responsive handling and also greatly reduces wheel hop. Also by retaining the stock rubber mounts you’re still isolating noise and vibration, versus replacing them with solid aluminum or delrin; which can be harsh.

ill talk to my dad about it...haha...no...but ill try. i get crazy wheel hop sometimes. maybe ill go back and mess up the stock ones so that i could get yours.
what other setup did you decide to do. i cant remember if you said it in the other thread or not

SPL Parts sells a set of 8 subframe spacers that apply pressure to the top and botton of the subframe bushings instead of just the bottom, like Dupree's (4) do. They're a bit more expensive, but I figured I'll give it a shot. I ordered a bunch of other stuff from SPL, so I figured, why not. I'd just like to get some of my $60. I'll entertain other offers, so if anyone's thinking about it, let me know.

this is gonna be a hard decision
either a new watch or some new subframe spacers

hmmm....bling bling for my wrist or no more bounce in the back

That's funny. Something Supra Converter told me makes a whole lot more sense now. I didn't see this post yesterday.

WTF? How can you be choosing between a watch and a quick/easy suspension mod for the Z (that your dad won't see unless he crawls under the car). I have an idea - bust out the swatch watch from 3rd grade, buy the spacers, and call it a life imrovement that you'll be happy you made. You can't wear a watch while you're working on the Z anyways, so why is it even a debate. Kids.

really, what'd he say?
no i just want the watch really bad, because i lost my other one a while ago. i never had a swatch either
but i think im gonna get both since i just started working again...one day a week ...
how would you like your payment, cash, check, or IOU

hey at least im not promoting alcoholism
jkjkjk

He made a comment about watches that went over my head until I read this. Since you're so young (not a bad thing), you probably missed the swatch craze of the mid 80's.

1 day a week?!? I miss my youth. Those were the days. I'll shoot you a PM.

I don't promote alcoholism either. That was a joke. Advil usually comes after drinking; eventhhough it's harsh on the body. Beer just goes really well with everything associated with cars (except driving of course).

i was kidding about you kidding too

actually the only reason why i am working one day a week is because of high school soccer.
after soccer season i may be working 5 days a week. i kinda miss that too
i learned about the swatch from "i love the 80's"
