Yep they are. When the subframe is off, you need to remove the old bush and the Metal outter. In the kit you get Two halves of the bush on each side with a metal inner. You push the two halves in the subframe by hand then the metal inner through the hole. Job done

martin said its not massive hassle doing the subframe bushes with the beam in place, i dont have time to take the whole thing off, so ill try and do it on the car, mine rattle all over the drivers side, and deffo feels loose on cornering.

You have to take off the subframe to change the bushes. However you can leave the trailing arms connected with the brake calipers etc. You do need to remove the diff as its to heavy to to move around. This is what I did the last time I did it

is there any other bits from the z31 that fits our s12, the little round bushes at the end of the ARB with the long bolt though???

and the bushes for the lower tie bar (i think i have the name right, this stops the wheel flapping back and forth)??
