WHERE TO BUY

Open an exact listing, then confirm fitment, stock, price, and shipping with the seller before ordering.

What you need to know

First choose inserts versus full bushing removal. Energy 7.1113 is an S13-only insert kit installed around the retained OEM rubber. Energy 7.1117 is an S14-only full polyurethane replacement and its catalog explicitly says it does not fit S13. Whiteline W92446 and SPL SSB S13 are cataloged for both 1989-94 S13 and 1995-98 S14. SPL uses shims to select subframe height; GKTech SUBF-RISR raises the subframe, so solid kits are not stock-equivalent geometry/NVH replacements. S14-subframe-into-S13 conversion bushings are a separate product and are outside this row.

Supersession

No OEM supersession chain. Energy Suspension 7.1113, Energy Suspension 7.1117, Whiteline W92446, SPL SSB S13, and GKTech SUBF-RISR are alternative treatments, not supersessions. Do not print arrows between them.

Fitment

First choose inserts versus full bushing removal. Energy 7.1113 is an S13-only insert kit installed around the retained OEM rubber. Energy 7.1117 is an S14-only full polyurethane replacement and its catalog explicitly says it does not fit S13. Whiteline W92446 and SPL SSB S13 are cataloged for both 1989-94 S13 and 1995-98 S14.

S14-subframe-into-S13 conversion bushings are a separate product and are outside this row.

Aftermarket options

Retained-rubber option: Energy Suspension 7.1113 S13 inserts. Full polyurethane: Energy Suspension 7.1117 for S14 only or Whiteline W92446 for cataloged S13/S14 applications. Solid aluminum: SPL SSB S13 or GKTech SUBF-RISR; both require consideration of noise, vibration, installation, and subframe-height consequences. Live availability and current kit contents remain Gate 2.

Before you buy

S13 Energy 7.1113 is an insert kit that retains existing rubber; S14 Energy 7.1117 is a full replacement and does not fit S13. Solid kits can increase NVH and alter subframe height/geometry. This page excludes knuckle bushings and S14-subframe conversion bushings.
