Well, just about maybe 10 minutes ago i just took off the whole rear end including the cradle. The rubber spacers look pretty good, but I was curious as to how many people put the nylon ones in? Are there advantages to these?
Rear Subframe Spacers Ideas?

I did, i freakin love them. No more "cadillac" feeling on the freeway. It doesn't make the ride harsh either.
The BIC Nylon spacers work great, I had mine in for over two years and it really tightens up the rear. I now have a prototype Poly set in my car.....

Hope this doesn't present a stupid question. Is it worth paying the money for them. 89.99 or can these be made, i am not trying to find the cheapest route I am just curious.
The cadillac feeling is when the car seems to "float" on the freeway. Just buy the BIC nylons. It's worth the money and they're already made.
could the stock subframe spacers cause squeaking? I have tein coilovers, but I get alot of squeaking back there over bumps and stuff.

other than pulling to the right a little, it drives fine. just sqeaky over the bumps especially when going slow.

That is a good idea, the squeak could also be from those if they're worn. The way you track can also be from these bushings wearing.
thanks for all the info everyone,
that may be helping it, but when I got my car aligned they said it was going to pull to the right a little because there wasn't anymore room for adjustment. (whole other story)
idk if this would help distinguish between sway bar bushings or the sub frame spacers, but if I just push down on the back of the car while it's stopped it will still squeak.

Can you identify where the squeak is coming from? if I were you get under the car and have someone push down, be careful of course.
If you can't find it, get some WD40 and start spraying where you " think " it could be, until it goes away for slightly fades away.

Hey man we're all on here to learn, and even if you did thread jack, you now know something more and can fix your own things too.
Good luck with your discovery, and if you do figure what it is, please post so we all can see what it was.
