mpearce1974 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Ok I am looking for other peoples opinion! I bought the full kit, and e=redid my Samba Del Sol, and really had no issues. Then again I have heard people say they are too ridged, make noise, have to grease periodically, etc etc etc. So let me hear it! My hatch has 235,000 miles, and you know I am going to have to replace alot of bushings! Trailing arm bushings are a given, I will replace rear LCA's with Skunks most likely, lower with Tein S.Tech's, and Tokico blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTiS Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 iv heard alot of good things about them. i believe they have an entire suspension kit for 120 and include more than enough grease. havent heard of any squeaking issues. if your gonna do it yourself iv heard to put the bushings in a freezer to help them shrink just enough to not have too much of an issue installing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamEj6 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 they squeak a lot after a while, but it didnt bother me. i havent used their trailing arm bushings, i just went with oem. i liked it a lot personally, it was good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I installed the better part of the master kit in my sedan and have no problems, also installed the rear trailing arm bushings and shifter bushings too. If you buy get them from energysuspensionparts.com. I have sent them over $500 in the last few years for various things and every order and shipment perfect and on-time.

Yeah I have dealt with them and DStuning (guy sells\owns both) quite a bit, but I always like to hear others input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I did a lot of research on them before I bought them and they are great! If they squeak after a while, just grease... They will help with wheel hop ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocifero Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Forgo the balljoint bushings. That's my advice. They don't seal for sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but opposed to torn and damaged boots they work fine, you just have to grease them at each oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I intend to replace all inner and outer tie rod ends, and ball joints. If its parked all winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 wow that's a lot...I think they are such a pain to do lol but it's worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 The boots he is referring to are the upper and lower ball joint boots, not the tie rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
