Ok so i am thinking of changing out my 14 year old bushings on my 92 civic hatch, I have been looking at the Energy Suspension and the Prothane master kits. The only real difference that I can see is that the ES kit makes u reuse the metal portions of the original bushings and the Prothane doesn't but costs about $80 more.

Anyone have experince with using either of these two companies, and if so what are ur impressions of how they work, their reliability and the installation. Any help would be great, I don't want to buy something that I know nothing about and then get stuck with a non working pile of junk, thanks!

 

anyone?

 

search for bushings , suspension bushings, spherical bushings, polyurathane

be sure to check the "archived" button if not much comes up, you'll find about 4-5 days of reading on the subject.

 

I have personally installed the whole master kit on my 93 dx coupe+ the rear trailing arm bushings from Energy Suspension .
PROS that I noticed-
-less slack in suspension travel
-greater handling around corners
-overall just tighter feeling car
CONS That I noticed-
-very stiff ride
-lots of road feel(every crack in the road)
-the pros will make u forget about the cons !
-plan for a complete saturday, sunday for this project , but what better way to spend the weekend than turning some snap-on wrenches!!!!

 

i know on race cars, they have had problems with just about all of the bushings big time with the RTA bushing, and also the FLCA.

ALL of them. But if you use the search option, you'll get the reasons why.
