I'm not sure on the price. But that is something that i definetly wouldn't cheap out on.
Something about a tire pointing in the wrong direction at 50 m.ph. that scares me.
And trust me, I have seen it. it does happen. It brings the car to a stop, right now.

I prefer authentic honda parts for something like this. But the price on them is just stupid. Call your local dealer and see if the price is close. If not, i would go with the best that the auto parts store has to offer.
Energy suspesion kit is always a good idea. especailly since they will have some of them bushings right there, that they can change.

If you are like me, and decide to do an overall investment in your suspension, then go here:

http://www.suspension.com/civic.htm

Under "Energy Suspension 'Hyper-flex' Master Sets" you can buy a whole set of bushings, or you can buy them separate (under Honda, USA)
