Haven't used it. Energy master kit sounds about the same. Is this new kit better? Diffictult to say.I see this new kit has rack bushings included, but no mention of sway bar bushings, but then I see them in the picture on the box.Any master bushing set will transform the car, if you're replacing the OEM worn out bushings.Price is a tad higher (if i recall) than the ES kit. It may be better because it includes the rack bushings and may be an even harder compound(good or bad, you decide) than ES compound.If I had another 240sx to daily drive I might consider getting this kit, and because Phase2 sells it and they too are a top notch dealer.

i have a es set, comes with rack bushings and sway bar, all sizes for those with the larger sway. i still need to install the rest of my control arm bushings though, only did the t/c rod, sway bars, and subframe bushings, which are kind of gay, they only slip into the stock subframe bushings making them solid, but i didnt notice any difference there, still clunks so i need to get full bushings to install there. i wouldnt spend the extra money just because its rsr unless there is a valid reason to believe its superior to the es set.

Looks just like my ES kit, the ES master kit comes with rack bushings as well. Havent had the money to press in all of the bushings yet though That kit even has those goofy subframe inserts just like the ES kit too heh

Strangest thing, my ES master kit didn't have rack bushes, I did NISMO rack bushings...Maybe they've updated the ES kit because it's been a long time since I did my kit..

they have updated it. they redesigned the T/C rod bushings as well to allow for a little axial rotation so that the front [lower] control arms don't crack/snap. probably other little tweaks, too, to the kit that i don't know of.
