I did them on my '95 DX. They're a BEOCH! to install, but they're worth it in my opinion.

I can get a pretty good price on them if you want to PM me about it.

I get Energy Suspension.

Energy Susp. but make sure they are the Kevlar impregnated ones, they won't sqeak/self lubricating.

I have a full set, going to be installed in two weeks. I've had em for montehs, just sitting in the garage

I got the Energy Suspension master bushing kit.

install was long, but well worth it.

I believe it was easier for me than other people, because I had an extra set of front and rear lower control arms, to put in the bushings, so i was never car-less.
Total time, was probably about 6-8 hours for the lower control arms, and shock bushings. You just need the right tools.(no, I didn't have a hydraulic press either)

Just remember, that you are replacing something that was never meant to be replaced at all, so you can't expect it to be an easy job.

Price: FREE( got the set with my swap )
Is it worth the install? I believe it is. I just feel more secure to the ground. I like to feel the road I am on, and these do it perfectly. I don't feel that I am loose on the ground.

I used a hydrolic press and it only took me about 2 hours to do the whole front end.

I highly recommend the press...

If your car is rather new, then it's not worth it. I see that most of you guys that have it are running older cars. THAT is when I'd personally do it.

well, my front susp squeaks a lot, especially during hot weather. i dont know how to check to see if the bushings are bad. everything is stock except for the KYB AGX, GC, and installs kit.
