is there really a noticeable difference with polyurethane bushings in handling? for $35 would it be a waste of money?

 

[Sinner360]

Yes, there is a huge difference but it is really a stiff ride extremely....

 

[hybridtheory31]

even without other suspension mods?

When I got my bushings I could definitely tell the difference, it felt like I got thicker sway bars all arround. Felt like about 30% stiffer then with normal bushings. The ride is deffinitly harder and you can feel every bump. But don't get fooled by the low price of the actual bushings, the work is what will cost you, plus u most likely will need some new bolts. Overall one of the better mods on my car IMO.

Where did you find them for 30 bucks?

brother got me a $50 giftcard for amazon. dont know what else to use it for. so theyre a pain to install?

There might be a how to on here. Think the biggest hurdle is getting old bushings out of the lca's. Will have to torch and drill it out. I want to do this but my car is out of commission at the moment.

they make a huge difference when it comes to hard hard cornering....they are a PITA to install...atleast the rear trailing arm bushings were.

 

[hybridtheory31]

how much u think a shop would charge to put them in? since like 50% of the things i attempt myself end up failing lol.

i got the prothane total kit and the kit cost about 250 but the instal was 500.... and an alignment...
but it was totally worth it! it does have a really harsh ride but it is great in the corners

 

[hybridtheory31]

would it be cheaper if i waited till i got springs and dampers and everything and have it all installed at the same time?

 

[wakewil]

yes most likely
