I have the Energy Suspension bushings on my Teg. It made my ride a tad bit stiffer which is what I wanted anyways. I'd recommend them, BTW why post this in the basement and not the Integra forum. You would get better replies in the Integra forum.

yeah its worth it.... but its gonna take some work to do the installation yourself.... or some money to have somebody else do it.
try a search there is a ton of info about energy suspesion or prothane bushings ....

The only problem I hear is the rear control arm bushing binding if not properly greased ALL THE TIME. I have the ES bushing kit too and definitely a better improvement, but I might replace my RCA with a Mugen or OEM type.

is said bushing greasable? i cant imagine it binding anyway but once its installed, if it isnt equipped with a greasable fitting, this cant be true...

I greased my bushings once installed and that's it. Also I would have to disagree with greasing the bushings "All the time". I've been driving sixth months on Polyurethane bushings with no noise issues.

I'm pretty sure civicsiracer has had his for a while longer than 6month. Also he autoxes so that probably effects it as well.
