ive read nothing but good stuff about Energy Suspension's complete master bushing kit. i was wondering if anyone here is running it. im buying my kit friday, and am still searching for a shop too install all of them. itll be a bit expensive, but WELL worth it. lmk.

well worth it if a shop puts it in for you. I've heard nothing but good things about it also, but removing a couple of your 16 year old bushing isn't too fun. But if a shop is gdoing it for you, go ahead man
^^click it or ticket^^ -
we have it ont he project car and i have some on my dd as well.
it keeps everything tighter on the road however there is a tiny bit of squeaking when going over speed bumps and such.
it would be easiest to just send the lower control arms and upper control arm anchor style things to be pressed out and jsut re-install the rest.Comment

the squeeking part of it is easily fixable
just use some spray lithium grease!
price wise you would be better off installing the kit yourself!
a shop will charge you an assload to do the install.
thats ALOT of labor!
or if anything install what you can and then take the others to a shop..
would probably save you a couple hundered dollars!Comment

Do the easy stuff yourself, and just have the shop do the more difficult ones. It'll save time, which will save money.

My car dives off in the rear on one side when I am hitting bumps on the freeway. It makes for a weird ride. I was thinking some bushings need to be replaced. Let me know how this works out for you when you get them installed. I will be doing mine myself of course though.

check your tire pressure first.Originally posted by According_to_ME
when i first got my cb7, the rear tires would only hold 20psi...i was "floating" with no control over bumps.
id check the suspension next.Comment

the master bushing kit is awesome ..will stiffen the suspension ,make sure to lubricate the bushings or they will squeak...
i recommend going to northen tool and buying a manual press for 50 bucks and doing the installation yourself.
impact gun, press, some beers, and go ole elbow grease and your in business

i have no time. ive been working like 50+ hours a week to obuy my h22 swap. i called one shop and they want $700 (parts and labor)......they were being assholes too, so i just hung up. i might do some of the bushings myself, but im just going too worry about getting all of the bushings first. all the "master bushing kits" dont say if they include the rear suspension also.Comment

Summit Racing has the front only sets, and the front and rear sets. $100 versus $200.
Although it seems that the inner bushings for the lower arm are never included, or maybe was it the radius rod. Either way, something needs to be purchased separately.Opal Metallic Green '92 LX 2dr manual, 181k miles, '94 prelude VTEC wheels for summer (steelies with snow tires for winter), Omni-power struts/springs, and other junkComment

I'm running the ES front kit. Its awesome I love the way it feels, you feel every pebble in the road. I did the install myself. The most effective way to get the bushings out I found was to use an acetylene torch and flame the rubber out, then hacksaw and air hammer the metal inserts. But seeing as how you likely don't have access to those tools (I work in automotive shop) I would send to a machine shop. Even with good tools it took me probably ten hours.
