Is there any good/bad experiences (kit wise, not customer service)? I have read in past posts that the car will ride alot firmer. Is this true? Anybody with these kits please give me some input. The suspension is real high on the list. Do the poly bushing squeek real bad?

Thanks

I've put Energy in front and back and have no sqeaks as of yet.
People warned me about when the grease dries up and I thought, oh well I can pull them out and grease them some more when the time comes.

I do however have a very bad clunk in front when suspension is worked, even on small bumps.
To me it sounds like when a rubber bushing is shot to s**t.
The back bushings have made their presense known occasionally but I can live with that.

You do get more road noise and vibes but the handling is great. More precise.
Rear helped more than I thought it would too.
I will probably pull fronts out and do new rubber though. Mine is only a street bird anyway.

I bought the front end PST kit and a new rack too. I'm very happy with it, what little I drove the car. I also got the spring isolators and 1" lower 20% stiffer springs from coilsprings.com
Couple things though. PST website says that the kits come with outer shells, but mine didn't. Also, It's not squeeky, but I can hear rubbing there when I am going into my driveway. Maybe I didn't grease the frame area where they rub? I don't know. But it sure is stiff and handles good.

Can you get a master kit that has bushings for front and rear? Or do you have to get them separate?
