No I dont want inserts, I already have them and they suck and are now completely loose.
I've done a little reading and it seems that suspension noise is increased a little, but drivetrain noise is different. On S13's with solid mounted diffs you're going to get a lot of noise. On S14's it should be a lot less. Think about it this way... you don't have and rubber between your front subframe and unibody, and it's not exceedingly noisy from that direction.
I did Nismo bushings and they were a giant pain in the ass. But, they're quieter than the Peak Perf poly inserts that I had before, and just as stiff. Going to change to an S14 subframe soon and see how that works. Just gotta get my hands on one.
