I used Amsoil Synthetic heavy duty grease on my ES bushings and this was back in March. No problems since then. The shop I got my bushings installed at also installed grease fittings at the front upper control arms incase I ever need to hook it up to a grease gun and squirt some in there.

I definitely recommend bushings for those looking for some more suspension tuning. I noticed a huge increase in feel and quick transitions on my car even though it's 3 years old, but has 120 autocross on it.
