Hey everyone, I know your all not really into retaining your cars solid feel. I was reading an article and saw something about replacing all of your cars stock rubber bushings with polyurethane ones. I know its long and very annoying. But I hear it is the most important thing you can do if you wanna make solid suspension. I was even told "Replace your bushings, get some Tein sport springs and KYB struts. And you probably wont tell the difference between this or 3000 dollar coilovers." Anyone out there ever try these? Input from anyone is appreciated.

 

If you replace all the bushings with the ES hyper-flex bushings, the car will be smoother and a bit harsher than stock. I think its worth the upgrade depending on the car and the purpose for the car.

I recently replaced the rear suspension bushings with the ES Hyperflex kit and the results were very promising. Firmer than stock but not overly obtrusive. The new line promises to retain the lubing longer than the other model with the pores on the inside of each bushing. Good design but obviously time will tell.

You can upgrade the springs and shocks and what not but it comes down to a formula really. I'd say consider where you want to put your funds and be smart about what aspect of the suspension you'd like to do and in which order. Personally i would work on the minor ones (bushings) whilst saving up for the larger more significant parts later on...

Food for thought... but more of the same mumbo jumbo really.

 

hey.. is it possible to burn the old bushings out and be able to stomp the new ones in or do you need them pressed in too.


i know the rear trailing arms are a PITA.

 

Yea man, thanks for the input! But I agree, all im doing is the bushings to see how that goes, if its stiffer then im going to go ahead and save up for more advanced motor upgrades. But ya gotta start with a good foundation, and keep everything balanced. No sense in having super suspension with a shitty motor and the same the other way around. And the same with the motor, everything that has to do with success has a balance, if ya upgrade intake, gotta make a more flowing exhaust ect... Thanks Again
