Polyurethane bushings love'em or hat'em!
 

I wanted to know how many people have had the opportunity to experience polys on your car. Specifically the lower and upper control arms (ES master kit, ect....). I would like to know how long u have had them, what u think of them, and what is your suspension setup (spring rates if u can). I personally hated them. The grease dried out in about 6 months and they were noisy. The ride I thought was terrible with high spring rates and 17's. The only thing I liked polys on are the anti-sway bar, and the shift linkage. Thats it. Unfortunately I am thinking of going with them for my 98 Civic CX hatchback that I am building. The only reason I am thinking about it is the price. The honda factory replacement parts (have to get the whole control arms! ouch!) are over a 1000 dollars and now I am thinking the 130 dollar ES master kit doesnt look so bad. Anyways let me know what u think.

I dont mind it. My integra has a full kit. It makes my engine shakes like shit but I know that it does it's job. It rides rough but then again Skunk2 coilovers sucks anyway.....

they are great IMO. the ride over bumps is not that comfortable but they are great for cornering and the car feels a lot different.

hmm. Stefan, elaborate in great detail.

Energy Suspension inserts will ride good. They will be different from stock depending on your suspension setup.

Prothanes will ride like ROCKS. They are much stiffer.

That said, I would really look at finding a lower control arm at least. That's where you'll feel the bulk of the ride. Then replace the remaining bushings.

I'll say this
Ive read numerous articals and forum posts that it is very..."unwise" to use anything other than oe spec/style rear trailing arm bushings.
Reason is basically that anything else limits the movement of the arm (dont remember if its in x, y, or z)...

I went w/ Mugen @ $115 a set:)
