Default full car bushing kit

im dropping my car in the next few weeks on neuspeed race springs and koni yellows...do you think i should get the bushing kit? does this do anything noticable to the handeling or suspention? i asked one guy and he said his bushings drive him crazy cause of the noise they make. well if you guys have any info or if you guys have them could you tell me if they are worth the money? thanks in advance.

u will get a better feel for the roads....but its true when u have them, they will make noise

with a stiff suspension like the one your getting you will have lots of noise
but if your cool with losing the comfortness of noise pollution then its a good mod

i would get it....though my car is half gutted (rear)
bring on the noise!

I wish i'd been able to do that, but i'm poor. I just dropped my car, and I had to replace the rear LCA's. It sucked. I'd say that if you can afford it, go for it.

The bushing kit does make quite a noticable difference, but I can't tell you how many people I've seen start installing the bushings only to find out how much time is involved in doing so and give up. The best thing to do would be to buy a few of the bushings (seperate from the kit), install them, and then make your decision whether or not to go ahead with the full kit.

just think of it this way, it took me 3 full days to do all the bushings, even if they could do it in a fraction of the time, which im sure they could, say a resonible 4 hours or so, just figure out their hourly rate, and there is a fairly good estimate of the price

I installed some of the prothane bushings and would advise anyone who is contemplatining not to go this route. The urethane does not "remember" its shape better rubber and its quality deminishes faster. I have 1500 miles on mine and one of the bushings is already showing signs. The collar where the bottom of the strut bolts in already has way too much play. Prolly within the next two years, I'm going to have to swap in the oem ones. If you're gonna get some new ones, stay eom. I think you'll be much better off in the long run.
