Message It is ian nevitablity that all z32s will face at some point in their lives. It's up the owners to realize this and see the doctor.

I didn't really notice much of a difference with the spacers besides a slight increase in handling. With the ES bushings, it's like a new car. It's stiffer, but it's a more controlled stiffness that is much more comparable to driving a low mileage z32. I've recently had the opportunity to drive 2 < 60k mile 95 TTs and I can say that the feel is very similar.

ES Bushings hands down.

You can't do it yourself, take it to someone who can. But it will probably be in the 700-1000 range labor wise. A few hours to take off the subframe, 4 hours or so to do the sub frame and diff bushings, probably more. Add in your "while I'm in there labor" labor time and parts. Then 3 hours or so of assembly, maybe more depending on various factors.
