So is this only for modded cars? Can stock cars benefit from this also?
I'm getting questioned on Driver as to why I need these due to my stock status even though mine are cracked and shot.

I got my rear bushing installed.
Do the front bushings need to pressed out? I tried to hammer out the stock fronts, but it looks like it's in there pretty good.
Thinking of trading my SPL fronts for Whitelines if I can't get it installed.

I didn't even try removing the fronts myself, i just had the shop that did my diff press them out.
I also highly recomend ordering the whiteline subframe bushings from Z1 , its almost pointless to do the SPL diff bushing with the rest of the rear end done.

Yes the SPL bushings are solid, but there is still the possibility of the subframe bushing moving around once the solid SPL bushings are in place.
So is the SPL diff bushings worthless without the subframe bushings?

Not worthless, but not even at 1/2 potential. Jack up the car a few time from various suspension points in the rear and watch the subframe. You will see how loose/sloppy they actually are.

the differential bushings only gave me a slight increase in noise (a whirring sound, not audible with the stereo on) at sub-zero temperatures until the car warmed up. There is still much isolation in the drive train, and with the rubber subframe bushings that, yes, there is no ill effect on the NVH. As I said prior, for me, it reduced the NVH along with all the other benefits (better road feel, crisper shifting, more predictable traction, etc).
I never installed the whiteline subframe parts to comment there however.

they go in 2 totally different locations per the descriptions from each link. Getting all of them gives you everything in the rear bushing wise with the exception of the differential and subframe, which are listed here:

I wouldn't bother with the Whiteline diff bushings, its the back mount that typically goes out and whiteline does nothing for that, just get the SPL's. I do highly recomend getting the whiteline subframe bushings http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?m...ng&prodid=4160 . Both can be order from Z1.
