was the bushing kit a PITA to install? i'm thinking bout doing this too but with all the bushings and stuff, i'm afraid i'll get them all mixed up... any directions or instructions?

 

how do you like the tanabe's I think Iam going to buy a set.

where did you get yours and how much ( if you don't mind telling )

 

I've had the Tanabe's and poly bushings on my S4 NA for over a year now. I've also installed the semi-hard rear sub-frame and Diff mounts and rear steer eliminators. I love the feel of them with the Tokico Blues. I've also installed the semi-hard rear sub-frame and Diff mounts and rear steer eliminators. The handling is nice and tight for the mountain driving I do daily. My only complaint was that camber was way out both front and rear because of the dramatic drop these springs give you. I was eating tires really fast. I just recently installed camber plates in the front, and a camber bar in the rear. A good alignment and new tires should fix what little complaints I had.

 

The small front control arm bushing can be pressed out easily enough, I did it with a couple boards, a hole saw and a c-clamp I had in the garage =)

The big front control arm bushing I had to cut off with a dremel, it has a steal strap inside it about half-way down, that was a mess and a took a while.

The front and rear sway bar bushings are very easy, a couple of bolts each.

I haven't tried to tackle the rear control arm bushing yet, and I recently got a rear sub frame from someone that already has new poly bushings installed. =)
