Default Replacing Suspension Bushings

What kit should i go with??? i Have seen the new ENERGY SUSPENSION HYPER-FLEX SYSTEM and was wondering if anybody has had any experience with it. But its $140 for the master set and i have heard of ppl only paying $90 for a regular Energy suspension master set?
Any suggestions on what to get and from where to get it?? I need motor mounts too
Thanks
Burke

I did the entire energy suspension setup. the few parts I didnt do are the balljoint/tie rod boots and the steering (column?) bushing.

On swapping in Polyurethane... the motor mount inserts, lower control arms, trailing arms and swaybar bushings make a HUGE difference.

Some guys stay with stock ITR or go with MUGEN for the trailing arm bushings, to maintain enough movement without binding or drastic changes iiin suspension geometry under load.

I bought my set for like $100 shipped form a guy who bought it then learned how much install would cost him since he didnt want to do it on his own time, so it was like a $500 estimate for install, and he sold it for cheap. That happens a lot actually... since shops charge a LOAD for this type of work, it is a PITA if the car fights back with rusted bolts and such.

I had to order a few additional things if I remember, or different items, I just went thru http://www.summitracing.com
