Question: Can I use Energy Suspension bushings on aftermarket LCAs or just stock ones?

Re: LCA (O RLY)

most aftermarket lca's come with bushings already in them and they are lined with metal rather than rubber so u dont have to worry bout the bolt freezing in them (that makes them better than OEM).. it would be stupid to have a machine shop press out those new bushings to put in a new pair.. passwordJDM.com has some real nice one look on there.

None of the aftermarket LCAs have polyurethane bushings. They are all just vulcanized rubber bushings that suck. The only aftermarket control arms that are worth the money are OMNI's front LCAs. He's working on making his rear LCAs better. I just want to know if I can press out the bushings.
