Neuspeed Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit - Opinions?

I was thinking of getting this at some point. Has anyone tried them yet? Any noticiable benefit in responsiveness? Yey or nay?

I got it a long time ago but never found the time to put it on.

it would be a bit of a hassle of an install as I would have to jack up the car, remove the sway bar bushing or the entire sway bar... and the neuspeed bushing isn't cut, so I'll have to cut it myself to be able to use it...

I dont expect miracles, or to even be able to feel the difference... but suspension tunning adds up... it stiffens the sway bar some more... alone it wont be noticable, but with other modifications, you can definitely feel the difference.

i got this a while ago and installed it before i had my other suspension mods, and i think i noticed a little bit of a difference. it essentially locks the bar in position because these new bushings are polyurethane so there are no rubber bushings to squish and allow further movement.

it was very east to install them, and they did come precut (it is kinda hard to tell they're precut because unless you pull them apart with your hands the seam is almost invisible) and all i did was use a ratchet to remove the 4 bolts holding the sway bar bushings on, remove the stock bushings, grease the Neuspeed ones with the included synthetic bushing grease, and reinstall with the correct orientation. obviously, i had the car jacked up too, and on jack stands so it wouldnt fall on and kill me[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

i think that this mod with the RSX 19mm rear anti-sway bar, and some other suspension mods (like what i have) will make the best difference because all the little changes like the front polyurethane bushings, and the rear strut and tie bars, and larger low-profile wheels/tires, etc will combine to make the car noticeably nicer to drive and all around better handling. let alone if you drop the car or have coilovers....that'd probly make an even bigger diff.

I order some. They should get here in 7-10 days. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

I'm gonna be doing a bunch of suspension mods in the next couple weeks. B&G coilovers this week, bushings next week, RSX sway bar whenever, Neuspeed rear tie bar whenever they come out with it. Hopefully I'll have enough 'play time' between mods so I can tell if any individual mods make a difference.

if you just get the neuspeed front sway bar and completely replace the stock, does it already come with neuspeed bushings installed in it?

yes i think so. but those bushings should be different then the ones u can buy individually because the neuspeed bar is thicker then the stock.
