i tend to favor prothane for most things, but es has a wider variety


prothane just give you more complete stuff. like their shifter bushings come with the collar pin, so you dont' have to reuse your old ones. with the es you don't get 'em. **** like that irritates me.

i'd buy the prothane for the shifter bushings.

I have the Neuspeed bushings. I forgot how many collars they came with, but I know that they came with at least one.

What about "glow in the dark neon purple"?

They will last longer than you do, or your car.

I just installed a ES hyperflex kit (master bushing kit, its what they call it) into my civic. If ya go with the kevlar(or something like that) impregnated bushings, they are supposed to not sqeak, unlike ordinary poly bushings.

regardless, don't let bumnahs post abotu ES scare you, they are complete kits, but he is right you do have to reuse some stock hardware. But the master kits do come with shifter bushings, and power steering bushings, and other stuff like that, in addition to the suspension bushings


On my lovely 8 hour drive home from VA, where 1stgencrxer and I installed them, i noticed a much more responsive/smoother driving experience. I can't wait to get my POS tires off, and my summer tires back on.
