Energy Bushings...which ones?

FRONT END CONTROL ARM BUSHING SET - Yeah, I need that $44

REAR END CONTROL ARM BUSHING SET - Do I need these? I ordered those DTSS rear steer eliminators. Are these completly different? $12

FRONT SWAY BAR FRAME BUSHING SET (pair) REAR SWAY BAR FRAME BUSHING SET (pair)- I just got the Racing beat suspension package so it comes with sway bar bushings. So I do not need that.

FRONT ENDLINK SET (pair) - I don't need that cause I have a S5

TIE-ROD BOOTS (pair) FRONT BALL JOINT BOOTS (pair) That is only $6 for the two. Should I need those?

I just copied and pasted the product descriptions from this website http://www.suspension.com/mazda.htm

Thanks

James

yes I agree with mr vaughn. I just checked it out and these prices sound way too good to be true. $3 for a pair of ball joints, when most places want more than $50 for just one, (unless u buy a kit that includes them), andthen tie rod end boots $3 also the end link bushings for $15. NOw that one is just slightly lower, but still they all sound too good to be true. The site was made with Microsoft Frontpage, whidh is more for the ametuers, and site has no security certificates. DOnt be victim to a bad website(if it is)

Okie, thanks for the heads up. I did notice that. I talked with the guy today. Also, on his webpage he plainly says the form is not sucure and if you want call him. Seems on the up and up to me. Those are covers not ball joints or tie rod ends.

Ok, back on topic.

My only real question is do I need those rear bushings?

are those prices for new or used stuff? if you are going to change the bushings.....energy suspension makes a kit for our cars.....i paid $125 for the entire kit it comes with bushings for front and rear. Hyperflex kit i think is the name of it. I got it from www.nipponpower.com at the time their price was better than others when i was searching around.

James I told you to check out Nopionline.com check it out. I think it is like 60-70 bucks for the set.

BTW they are also not using SSL/https

Well then.

I am going to buy the front and rear bushings for the control arms. Also ordered the ball joint and tie rod ends covers.

If you buy the kit for a S5 there is a chance you wasted your money.

I ordered from that website. Via the phone

We will see how it goes. I guess the ordering part is the easiest. The most cursing occurs when I install

I bought trailing arm bushings from them.
I phoned in the order on the 800 number.
No problems with delivery.

Pressing them greasy mothers in with the arm on the car was tricky.

I just recieved my Hyper Flex kit from www.suspension.com today. I ordered it over the phone last week and the guy I talked to was very helpful. The site may be simple, but the prices and service are top-notch.
