Default Urethane Bushings?

I have some cash laying around and I dont know what to do with it.
Its about 300 or so.

Just recently I though about bushings. How some people swith to energy suspention or somethin.

What are they all about? Are they a worthy upgrade? How much do they cost?

Its eitherr these, seats, an exaust or something else....

From all that i have heard they are great and well worth the money.Only thing is they can be a bitch to put in. It helps to have a press. They help to prevent wheel hop that can murder a tranny.

What are they all about?
They are about making those squishy stock rubber into nice stiff urethane.
Worthy Upgrade?
IMO, Yes, I've done the motor mounts, shifter stablizers, and soon rear trailing arms. They will make your suspension more stiff and responsive. What do you plan on doing with your car? If your doing racing, they are a good upgrade. If your just a street car, you may not like them (speaking I guess in terms of motor mounts, it makes my car vibrate!). I love the handling it gives back to my car.
Cost is fairly cheap IMO...

Well worth the money. The shifter stabilizers are one of the best cheap upgrades as well. I Would get those too if I were you.

well worth the money but nearly impossible to put the master kit in without a press.
