Which bushings are better?
Wus good peeps,
Ok, my front lca bushings when bad and my car ate up my front tires like crazy, noe i saved up some money to get them but im not sure what kind should i get. They sell complete bushing kits for less than 200. Im not sure which ones should i get. here are my options:
Hard Race Bushings
OEM bushings
Energy suspension.
Im confused because they have told me that poly bushings are garbage but efter doing some research, i have found that function 7 rear LCA are the best but the contradiction is that Energy suspension are the ones making the Function 7 Bushings.
Please show some love peeps.

I know, they can be a pain in the ***. I have seen some threads on how to do it it but i think im just going to take the arms out and then taking them to a shop. i have heard that they will charge me around 30 bucks to do it in a shop

I bought the master kit from ES. Will be putting them in next year.
ES is ok, oem is good, HR is great but 3X as much $$
For the price the ES cant be beat

Re: Which bushings are better?
I found HRs for less than 200 on ebay. the kit is for an integra so they mention that it will work for eg's exept on the rear LCA wich i dont care cus i have a BLOX (I know, Blox suks but i did not know at the time when i got them. they still are in dam good shape after one year). Now, the ES kit is only 135 and the HR is 195 (i think). So far by the looks of it. HR is winning. but im still not sure cause ES makes the bushings for function 7 and those LCA's are the best

Energy Suspension makes the bushings for us but they are made to our specifications, down to the specific poly compound formulation - the bushings are specific only to our arms (i.e. not interchangeable with other arms or the OEM Honda arms).
