i have noticed that after i replaced all my sbushings with energy suspensions ones my car feels more bumpy on any surface, at first i thought it was the tires because they were hard and brittle but i replaced them with some fuzions and the same thing. its mostly at freeway speed.

another thing i need some rucas and was looking on ebay for some and saw wicked tuning had some they look solid and are used is drifting applications so they should be good for DD right? has anyone heard or have these on their car right now?

If you have poly bushings thats what they do.

Make things stiff and rid rough.

And the wicked tuning is some quality stuff.

my friend has their tension rods.

loves them.

their pink too.

yep. The stiffer, the rougher the ride......no homoJust a question, what did you spend on a set of bushings? was it a complete front end kit? how many hours? I took a little looksee at mine and noticed the 60%+ are dry rotted and soft. Looks tedious to do but they must be replaced

i paid about 130 for the complete master set i spent 2-3 weeks putting mine in because i had no press to press some of them out but if you have a press you could do all of them in 2-3 days the fronts are a walk in the park but the rears are living hell. they are worth it but its just a little bouncy as if i had blown struts but fuk it it handles alot better

if it's bouncy, continues to bounce after hitting a bump then you need new struts
