The only thing I don't like about driving the ITR is the soft, almost mushy shifting =\ Anyways, does Energy Suspension make shifter bushings so I can firm up the shifter feel? Or any other brand? I've heard Neuspeed makes bushings universally for the DC2. Anybody use those? BTW, I'm not looking for a short shifter, the stock shifter is plenty short enough

Peace, Shihab

Spoon or Mugen bushings are also quality items.

It's okay, I looked on ES' website and they had it as part of the Master Bushing Set. Even luckier, I found a few vendors on eBay that were selling them seperately for cheap

I bought the shifter bushings for under $10 at www.suspension.com

Not that easy to install although it is very straight foward. Just takes some thumb power!

I got the energy suspension bushings, but honestly, maybe you guys noticed something I didn't, but it really didn't make squat for difference???

I think it made a huge difference. Gives it a solid fell in the shift vs a smoft mushy feel.

I guess maybe it's becuase I did it when the factory bushings were pretty new when I first got the car, but I really didn't notice much of a difference. Then again, I also really don't bang gears hard when I shift either, so maybe thats it....Well, either way, for the I think $8, it's kinda a non-issue at this point any way.

Later guys,
Aj

I use the B&M stablizer bushing kit, it feels completely different then stock. i believe they use aluminum, or maybe stainless steel bushings, i dont remember, but i have had it in for about a year and i def. like it better then stock. if your not looking for a soft shift, i would recommend this setup, however it may cost a little bit more then like energy suspension though. good luck

The B&M stabilizer bushing is also urethane just like all the others, the only thing B&M does that's alluminum is their short shifter, which comes with an alluminum shifter and casing.
