just got them in and was wondering what this is going to make my car ride like? Thanks. I did some searches however no one really said what all the differances where?

 

their polyurethane bushings give the car a better feel in the curves but also make the ride rougher. That's a bit of a downside but if you don't care about the ride comfort it's no problem. The other negative.. is that installation is a pain in the *** if you don't have the right equipment to do it. I had to dish out over $300 to have it installed, and even the machanic took like 3-4 hours to do it. Looking back at the amount spent and the handling and the roughness of ride attained... I wouldn't do it again.

 

lol, that sucks. My friend is going to hate me after this then! lol.

 

300 installed for the whole master bushing kit?


I plan to do this for the simple fact that the car is old and the bushings are going to ****.

 

thats why I am going to be getting some, honda hater where did you gets yours? was it the lowest price you found?

 

Corksport sells the ES bushing kit, for about $100...
I think this is something everyone should look into. No matter how much money you put into aftermarket parts, if you are riding around on worn out suspension bushings, the car is going to feel, well like a car that has worn suspension bushings..

 

good idea. I need to do this, also. My engine and tranny mounts are gone. shifter bushings are gone. suspension isn't far behind, I'm sure.

 

If you have a Series V car (89-91), you're stuck with the OEM endlink bushings which use pillow ball style joints instead of replaceable bushings.

 

I got the kit from shox.com I believe it was like 113 shipped. Nice kit though has everything including the grease ANyways my friend is going to do this because I fixed his computer a bunch of time for free so now he is going to do this and from what I heard its not going to be fun. lol.

 

I got the Prothane Bushing kit from nopi.com for $65.

What are the differences between the Prothane and the Energy Suspension bushing kits?

 

same thing basically.. they are both polyurethane

 

Do either kits include all the hardware, new bolts nuts ect ?

 

The ES kit only has hardwar for the S4 links.

 

For the record: The Prothane kit does NOT include the bushings for the S4 links.

 

I would say the best reason to go with ES is that they have the black bushings. These are impregnated with grafite. Supposed to cut down on noise.

To me that is worth the extra money.

which site can I find the Energy bushing set on? Thanks!

 

I got the hyper flex system from suspension.com for 100 bucks. Usually 200 anywhere else.

 

just installed my last weekend....5 hours of cusing later.....well ...now it oversteers alot..and the car cant seem to go straight anymore....can anyone trouble shoot this?..maybe the sway bars are tighten too much?...i got mine for 89 shipped....cant remember where though..some place online

 

did you get an alignment after you changed everything. i just got the hyperflex system. but not sure if i'm gonna but it in because i've heard it roughens up the ride plus very noise. is that true? thx

 

no...i didnt know i had to...i thought u only have to do that AFTER u change shocks and springs and such....would i need a aligment?....ride isnt much harsher...since my old bushings were worn down to the metal sleeves......

 

not a hundred percentage sure but if its pulling at all you have to. what bushing did you install?

 

ES kit....but only the endlinks...those were hard enough to install as is.....

 

i'll post all the tools u'd need to make the job easier if u like....

 

that would be appreciated. I'm assuming a machine press is needed, but if it can be handled another way, I'd love to hear it, personally.

 

same here.
