I have a 91 Convertable with 51K miles in good shape.
I want to replace the suspension bushing all around.

Any ideas on the Price for parts and labor?

Any shops that have done your 7's suspension?

I live in Jacksonville, Florida (NE Florida).

Thanks!

any particular reason?

i would probably suggest a polyeurethane kit which would run about ~$100+ and about $300+ to install the bushings depending on how deep you want to go, meaning every suspension bushing? (rear diff bushings, all rear end bushings, etc..)



i found this Hyperflex kit up on ebay, i have used Energy suspension before and their bushings are built fairly decently.

I went ahead with my rebuild.
I used the following:

• KYB Strut Mounts
• KYB AGX Struts (front) - Already on rear
• Energy Suspension Polyurethane Bushing set
• Racing Beat Convertible Springs
• Racing Beat Sway bars
• Strut-Mate Boot Kit
• OEM camber Links
• Racing Beat Camber adjuster

I also had Racing Beat Toe Eliminators, but the guy forgot to install them (or tell me), and I found them in the used parts box.

I had to adjust the struts to the softest setting to make it usable on city streets, and it eliminated the squeak from the rear, but it now has a clunk in the front struts.

I used Japanese Specialist in Jacksonville, FL - In particular Felix did the work. He said he did this to his RX7, but had to sand and grind some of the bushing to fit. I took it back and he tightened everything without checking the torque settings using an air ratchet. Some bolts were loose enough to tighten by hand. I went back and torqued everything I could get to using the shop manual specs. He won't return my calls now, and I'm really disappointed in them/him. I would recommend against him in any case. I even printed the shop manual, check lists, and digrams to make the job easy.

The ride now is very firm and flat, which I wanted, but the steering is a little squirrelly, and I need to get it aligned once I get new wheels.

I can't really recommend the spring set, it makes the ride too firm for a convertible. The ride height was not really any lower than the sagged stock springs.

I'm looking for someone to redo/check the suspension again, and put in the rear steer eliminators, if I can find someone competent. Any Suggestions?
