Default Energy suspension master bushing set for 5th Gen anyone?

Has anyone installed these on their 5th gen?
Hows the handling/ride/noise?

i know there's a master kit for the SH, and certain bushings fit 92-98 models. my friend has spring isolators on his base 5th gen, and it didn't make a huge difference. all it did was stop some squeaks though. i'm sure control arm bushings would make a bigger difference in feel, but i don't know if there's a way to pick and choose parts to make a master kit for the base model. any help on that?

I just finished putting the Master kit in my 4th gen (except for the lower inner bushings on the front & rear control arms) I replaced those with stock, as recommended by some AX and track folks on HT. Over all the kit is slightly harsher than stock, but not to bad. The car feels tight now. Feels good. I recommend it, especially if your stock bushings have a lot of miles on them now.

btw- be prepared to experience hell.... getting out stock bushings sucks

Ive ordered mine in black color, which contains graphite to eliminate the sqeaking noise that you may find in the red ones. Any tips prior to installation?

I ordered the whole set. It works out cheaper than getting individually even w/o the shock bushings, which I dont need since I have Tein Flex which comes with p/b.

I thought they didn't make the whole set for the 5th gen and how much did you pay for the set? What company?
