I have a 99 civic 4 door with TEIN SS i want to put in the energy suspension kit.

Hows the ride?

Is it stupid ruff or smother

wilsel

It's a lot more responsive, and stable. Biggest suspension improvement I've done. I won't lie it is rough compared to factory ride, but I don't think it's that bad.

i've got the bushing kit, on ... tein ss.

the ride is fine. it's a little rough over the bumps, but the car is more responsive and stable. if you're anywhere near pittsburgh, come down, i'll let you drive it.

i'm happy with the bushing kit. for only 130 bucks, it's a definate bang for your buck upgrade. have fun installing it though.

Turbo E

worth it.

labour is alot u got to burn the bushings out well depends im doing my own.

Ive instaled lots of kits but never drove in a car with them oh well i got them for $188canadian the complete kit.

just did my whole front! 92-95 hyperflex kit...no joke, tough install. It is worth it, but getting old bushings apart was a chore. To have someone do this would cost a pretty penny i bet. I used a local press and did the work myself. The easiest way to do it was to burn them out, then torch a line in the metal bushing, then air hammer them out! It's an involved project!

I don't know if the Eg kit will work if you have different lca's? But you can get the bushings individually for each part. The price might be a little more, but it's still worth it.

i had the whole kit on my eg w/h22. i loved it. koni yellows w/CG coilovers.

S/T sway bars, loved the ride, not to harsh. stiff, but not harsh.

cost me $75 to have the old bushings pressed out, put the new ones in my self,
150% improvement

i hated mine. I'l give it that it was more responsive and handled great, but every little bounce was so stiff. Ended up swapping my LCA's with a friend and tried to remove most of the bushings to get my car riding like stock again.

The ES mounts gets a for me.. daily driven anyways.

egturbo

i have the full es bushings on my eg and its very nice. but be prepared for 12 hours of work. lol. good luck

hahaha, yeah i hear great things about the energy suspension bushings, but having a press will help out greatly

NonovUrbizniz

I have it... it's great... I'm on an otherwise BONE STOCK suspension with 180k on it...

It rides great... make sure you lube the bushings REALLY well though.. otherwise they start to creek and squeek after a while...

I had access to a press too... I gotta say unless you have a REALLY nice press and a LOT of options for end pieces and seats to rest the various parts on... torching out the bushings would be MUCH easier...

The press takes FOREVER.... and it's nerve racking too...

I still haven't fully installed my kit after over a year... I'm lazy though.

so what are we looking at time and labor for a shop to put in the full set. My car squeeks and creaks like a bitch whenever i turn and accel and stop...i hate it so much ill do anything. I have narrowed it pretty much down to the bushing and want goodyear tire center to replace them with my energy sus ones...how much am i talkin for them to do the whole thing???

The Internet Tough Guy

300-700 bucks. depending on their labor rate and how fast they are. it takes a loooong time. roughly 6-10 hours. no fun either.

civboy115

holy chit! thats crazy. is that with or without me already having the kit...is that JUST labor?!?!

The Internet Tough Guy

yep. the kit's only $150 bucks. that's just a rough estimate, you could pay $10 or $10000 depending on where you go. but i'd plan on about $500. find a friend, DIY, and save a lot of $$$
