Energy Suspension
Is anyone using Energy Suspension bushing kits in their cars? And if so, how much better is it than stock? Or is it better to stay with stock for our cars?

I have the rears in my car. It is hard to tell because I installed my coilovers at the same time. I need to install my fronts. I made a DIY for the rears. Fronts need to be pressed in. If you car takes a beating, some will go eventually, especially the front. I agree with zzyzx.

But bushing deflection is definetly overlooked by many if you are doing any sort of racing. I highly suggest the kit, it is definetly rougher ride though.
