Energy Buishing Install...Almost done....
Damn who would have thought a bushing install would take this long.. :P but after about 2 days I am finally reassembling the suspension.
After putting all the bushings in I noticed a BIG change in the suspension, the arms actually move up and down freely, w/o shocks, they also just kind of hang fully extended without the strut assembly to hold them up, I cant wait to get this car on the road, along with new tokico rears (already on the front) and a new rear crossmember/steering rack. Damn Im excited for the day I can let go of the steering wheel with no hands, and not go in a ditch!
So anyone else do this? how is the car going to drive?

I haven't did this, but I was thinking about it. A whole kit is a little over $100 isn't it? I was planning on the motor mounts and I already have the shifter stabalizer mounts, but I am waiting until I get new shocks/springs to install it. If it makes that much of a difference in handling I will probably need it the way I drive lol...

Beerbong dont do the motor mounts unless you dont care about crazy vibration.I took mine off couse its my dailey driver and I was going nuts with all the noise.Plus everything rattles now that I took them off.You can nottice a big difference when you shift(motor doesnt flop back and forth) but I wouldnt reccomend them for a dailey driver.

It says he used "Stock Hf" grease The kit comes with some MEAN silicon grease. Also seems like his set up is a bit coroded to start with....
...Also the kit is pretty tedious to install, the key is to not even mess with the bushing removal just take it all to a machinist.
Also I spent extra time polishing all the pivot points and making sure it is all torqued to spec. (I am a bit ---- retentive)
