Bushing Kit Opinions
So the FC needs bushings and mounts across the board. I've been doing a little digging into the kits available, but I haven't been able to make a definitive decision.
It's 90%+ a street car, and Washington roads lean toward noisy and nasty. This threw out the MMR kit, which I've heard quite a bit about the noise/harshness issues.
My theory being that you install bushings with the intention of not doing so again for quite some time, and the engine being pegged for a serious power upgrade in the next couple years, I've gone back and forth on Superpro and energy suspension. I've yet to hear anything negative about superpro (until I saw the price... ) but I've never heard anything on the ride quality for energy. And ride quality is more what I'm interested in.
So I'm asking what other people's experiences are, and if there's anything else I should potentially look at. I know tires and springs are the big players in the game, but I still want to be able to survive a cross country road trip without feeling like I spent it on a wooden bench. I get enough of that in the truck.
