After the bushings I intend to replace the trailing arms, toe links and rear sway bar. My question is which bushings should I go with? From a pricing standpoint I have seen prices from a low of $120 for the Energy Suspension bushings to a high of $265 for the Pedder's version with the others falling in between for what look to be essentially the same product. Does anyone know what the differences are? On a daily driver with the occassional autoX or track day, does it really matter? I've always been a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" but in this particular situation with a price spread of more than a 100%, I'm just not sure which way to go. Any personal experiences and/or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
There is no need to pay $265 for inserts. You can get full polyurethane replacement bushings for that kind of money which is a much better option anyway. Solid bushings are even better. I would encourage you to consider a full bushing, especially if you are adding power and are hitting the track like you mentioned.
