Default Recommendations for all new bushing set for the front 00 ex

Im looking for recommendations on a bushing setup for the whole front end. im assuming energy suspension, but dont want to pigeonhole myself into just one brand. Any and all ideas welcome. looking for something to tighten up the front end of course.

Didn't search. We get this question at least once a week.

What do you mean tighten up the front end? There aren't that many bushings and aftermarket are more trouble than they're worth.

Sway bar bushings / LCA compliance is all I can think of? Won't make a difference.

i guess what i should have said was, the black bushing from energy with the graphite or the just the red poly? sorry, that would make more sense. i will search as well. what i meant from the tightening of front end is, im replacing a ball joint this weekend so i figured i would go ahead and replace bushings in the front. no crazy suspension work on car, dd, b16 si clone with eibach rear sway koni struts and gc coilovers.

I wouldn't touch the bushings unless they're broken. Even if they are, I would only replace with OEM. Definitely does not sound worth it in your case.

Search is your friend, not to mention google. I will however say... I wouldn't use Energy Suspension or Prothane urethane bushings on anything that moves. They wear relatively quickly and squeak while doing so. I would use Hardrace or PIC hard rubber bushings.
