ok well im curious about a few things regarding this subject.
1. will OEM all around cost about the same as the ES master kit? well the master kit doesnt cover EVERYthing, but i mean including what it doesnt cover too.

2. do i only need a press for the LCA or for every single bushing?

and 3. how long would i expect to work on this if doing it all at the same time?

its my DD. mileage>200k = needs pretty much new suspension lol.

 

bump for time frame i need to do a new bushing install and stoxk motor swap out and in.?

I would not go with poly, I have heard bad things and tyson has made me a believer of stock bushings, after driving his car, I felt like mine was a peice of crap. Go stock poly limits the radial movement of your joints. the OEM bushings are the most reliable, quiet, and long lasting. My 2 cents...

 

thx lost, anyone else?

 

poly all the way. factory bushings do not alllow the suspension to pivot freely.

 

I have poly in my car.

you'll need a press for every bushing. The machine shop pressed out my old bushings from the control arms. I was able to install every poly bushing by hand except for the TA bushing.
It took me a day to install the es master kit and the TA bushings took 3 hrs.

 

synthetic bushings tend to wear out faster than the rubber. if your car is a street car, get the mugen set, it is said to be of higher durameter, yet retain the streetability.
i had replaced all of my bushings with sythetic, and after a couple of years noticed some wear.
for a race only car, Delrin is the way to go.

 

another thing to consider, synthetic trailing arms bushings are believed to bind on a certain axis. which is why most racers tend to use the mugen part or go with a spherical delrin bushing for TA, at the least

 

Is there a kit that you know of that has the derlin bushings?

Yikes... that's going to be quite a bit pricier than the ES kit.
