Default Opinions on Hyperflex System Bushings?

I have a contact who can get me these for around $120.00. I have my front suspension almost taken apart for other work, and I noticed my lower control arm bushings had deep cracks. I figure a total kit right now will fix that, and also install the remaining pieces on my car. I realize this is a lot of labor. My questions is, is this a good name to go with, or is there a better set out there?

Hyperflex is made by Energy Suspension. I have that kit on my '94 Accord. You can also check out Prothane, thye make bushings as well. What kind of car?
If your thinking of installing these yourself - you WILL need a press for the LCA bushings or a torch to cut them out.

1994 Acura Integra GSR. All of the bushings installs that I can't do will be done by a local shop.

If your stock's are worn the ES are worth the money.
Make sure you take sand paper to them. Just take the shine off with the sand paper. And make sure you use all of the grease that is supplied in the kit.

The poly bushings are self lubricating! You have to take the shine off so it will lubricate it's self. So they won't squeak! The shine is left from the manufacturing process.
