Does anyone have any experience with Energy Suspension bushings? I am looking at their Hyperflex bushing kit for my '98 Civic, but I'm curious to know how much harsher/firmer they will make the ride quality. I'm looking for these bushings simply to replace my aging oem ones, but like I said, I don't want a drastic change in ride quality since the car is my daily driver. Any opinions? experiences?

 

im curious on pplz results as well, I just ordered the whole set and it showed up today.. its sucks I dont have a press so im gonna have to take all my control arms off and take em down to shop. Im hoping it will be a big improvement. I know the shifter bushings are just amazing, it my shifter so bad *** so im hoping the rest of them will have a good result.

 

i ordered mine a month ago and just got them all put in and id have to say stiff in turns acts almost like its on rails but as far as daily driving 10 outta 10 for sure.... best investment ive put in my 99 si

 

I like the ride that came from installing them it does firm it up a bit but it takes a lotof play out of things. If they are still including them in the master kit DO NOT install any of the tierod or ball joint cups they allow a lot of moisture in and the joints wear out really fast.

 

thanks for that tip, because here I was thinking that it would help keep it out and make them last longer.

 

I installed them on my 99 Si and you can notice the ride a little harsher.

 

I put a set in my 93 hatch and the car feels more firm and lots better on open road.

 

Also, don't install the trailing arm bushings. They need SOME play in them.

 

You will deffinelty know they are there, but they wont be back backingly stiff.

What ^ he posted has been said by tons of people, however, a good bit of people have installed them and have had no negative results.
I am not arguing, just stateing that.

Also, before you do this. Look at PIC or Hardrace bushings. They both include almost all bushings for the car. Not like ES where half the bushings are not touched with the master kit.

They are rubber which means 0 maitence. You install them and forget about them.
