it should reduce wheel hop from a standing start and reduce the flex going around corners. installation is a major BITCH!

There are several very informative posts on this subject.

Are you talking about the Energy Suspension bushings? If so, then do a search for "bushings" or "energy suspension" and you should get several posts on the topic.

I think the concensus is that unless you are going ALL OUT, then the bushings aren't really worth it.

While the full set only costs around $125, a full install can costs upwards or $300 - $500......

That's pretty much the only reason people don't go with the full kit.... installation is cost prohibitive....

I paid $300 for the install.That was after my mechanic gave me a break by not charging me for an extra 2hrs labor.Unless you're hardcore or insane(I'm a little of both )spend your money elsewhere.BTW this is NOT a do-it-yourself mod for the weekend mechanic.
