Differences in Mazdatrix and Energy Sus. Poly Bushings?
Anyone have either of these? What do you think?
If I can find a place that sells Energy Suspensions set then I might get those because they are cheaper. But then again if the Mazdatrix quality is better, I would pay more for them.
Thanks

I just saw in the Victoria British catalog that Energy Suspension has a polyurethane bushing set that contains "graphite impregnation". Anyone had any experience with this set? This is the first I have seen it and was hoping the self-lubricating properties of the graphite would eliminate the need to drill zerk fittings into some of the bushings.
Any thoughts, experience?

I still have the Toe eliminator bushings from Mazdatrix.
The "$100 savings" is from the total price I am paying from suspensions.com vs. mazdatrix.... Which includes all sway bar bushings and control arm bushings...
That may not be $100, but is a lot higher. Believe me, I am not getting ripped at all. I did the research.

For Mazdatrix- Roughly $180 for Sway bar bushing, sway bar endlinks, front and rear control arms. bushings...
Energy Suspension is bout $105 for the same...
There it is...
I guess bout $80 savings
I still have mazdatrix Toe eliminator bushings ($40pair)

ah, mazdatrix sway bar endlinks. you mean the metal ones? much different then the ES bushings. there is your whole "saving" right there. 2 different products.
I just bought the the ES front and rear control arm bushings from mazda comp for $50. the sway bar ones are $25 front and rear. but didn't order cause I want bigger bars anyways. didn't see the endlink bushings there but they are only for 86-88 ones anyways.
and mazda trix toe bushings are racing beat
as I'm sure the control arm ect are ES.
