Just got my car back yesterday, after nearly a week in the shop. I took it in to have ALL the bushings replaced with Energy Suspension Poly Urethane bushings, as well as, Eibach Sportlines with AGXs in the front and GR-2s with Pro-kits in the rear. Didn't have the time to really test it out in the afternoon after picking it up, seeing how I had a salsa lesson to teach 10 mins. after. But last night I was on my way from The Mayan to Old Town Pasadena on the 110. Wow! 80 the whole way without having to slow down on some of those fairly tight turns. And the best part is, NO MORE RATTLING from the suspension. Up next; SC Sports F&R strut bars & Tanabe front Sway bar!

Well, whatever came in the Energy Suspension Master Bushing set. So, I don't know. But, yeah, the ride is a hell of a lot smoother. Almost like driving a new car.

I took it to my mechanic who's been servicing my cars for years. The best part is he did ALL that work for ONLY $250. Just don't expect the car back in a day or 2, cuz they are PACKED. But, I just buy all the parts myself and have him install them. If you are interested;

Vineland Transmission- ask for Alex11005 Vanowen StNorth Hollywood, CA 91605(818) 508-0001

Tell him Steve with the blue 240sx sent referred you and he'll hook U up.
