Default Energy Suspension Kit

I am thinking about buying the ES Hyperflex fit. Is it worth the $150 it costs? I know I need to replace some of my bushings anyway (cracked and hard) but should I go this route for a daily driver?

are you just talking about the motor mount inserts, or replacing all the bushings?

I have ES bushing, so far only on the front. It seems to me that I greased the left side really well. But the right side does have a lot of squeek. Every little bump, squeek squeek squeek. Once in put the back ones in I'll make sure to grease them properly.

I'm using black ones all around, i have the master kit + the rear trailing arm kit. No squeak so far, and a very good daily drive experience.

I changed the rear suspension bushings about a year ago. I went with OEM.

The main reason was to cut down on vibrations of the ES, and I heard that if you use the inner control arm bushings in the front they won't last very long. The last time I heard that was about 2 years ago, so maybe thats has been corrected.

Go to Suspension.com and get the black kit. After the whole kit was put on I had no squeaking.

Hyperflex black. We sell a ton of them and have yet to hear a bad complaint.
