Polyurethane bushing kit question???
 

So all my factory rubber bushings are shot. I'm thinking of putting a poly. kit in. Who sells the best all around kit for the right price? The only brands I know about are Energy Suspension and Prothane. Any tips or feedback would be great. Thanks.

My experience with TASauto has always been good.

wherever you get them from do it! i just had mine done. Unbelievable, you will notice the difference immediately.

Energy suspension would be me recommendation. Check out TASAuto parts as mentioned.

^^word, i got mine off this site here. another friend who has them recommended that site to me. came out to like $108 shipped for the master kit. i dunno about TAS, but on here you have the option of getting the black versions at no extra charge. the black ones are graphite impregnated for self-lubrication. i would still grease most of them, but it will keep the squeaking away much longer than normal. i just got my kit 2 days ago from them. ive only installed the sway bar end links so far (theyre the easiest). i cant wait to change the rest.

Good deal, thanks for all the feedback. The site Velocifero gave me has them at a damn good price. I thought I was ganna pay closer to $200 for a set. Now as far as install goes, is this a job I can do in the garage with normal tools, or do some of them need to be pressed out and back in by a shop? And I've never done any kind of bushings before, is there instructions?

In the kits I've seen (which wasn't for an accord...) SOME of the old bushings had to be pushed out/removed but the new ones were split so that they went back in without a press. As for difficulty most of them are fairly easy, a few of them (on the shocks and such) may require a bit more work

A friend of mine just did bushings on an EP3 Civic SI. I know it's a much different car, but all of his bushings were torched out, casings carefully split and removed and most of the bushings were pressed in with a hydraulic press. I think that there was 1 set of bushings that were split. If you don't know what you are doing, this isn't a novice level DIY.

I wouldn't say I'm a novice level, but doing bushings would be something new. I can use either the manual or hydrolic press at my work if I need it. As far as instructions go, I more or less am hopeing it will tell me which bushing goes where. If I don't feel comfortable doing it, I won't. I've already learned that leason. Thanks for the info., hopefully I'll be able to order the kit sometime soon.
