They would def do better then what you have now. I have a brand new set of upper and lower control arm bushings in black that I am not going to use. Ive decided to save up for new upper and lower a arms. Ill let them go for 25shipped.

Use Energy Suspension over Prothane. You will find it to be much better quality and last much longer.

Not trying to start anything but can you back this up somehow?? When I was in need of bushings and did some research on this board it pretty much seemed to be equal between the two.

Yea i figured they were both the same, Dont see how a bushing could be much different. I went ahead and ordeer them anyway

I bought the Prothane swaybar bushings and endlinks as well as their transmission mount from Thunder three years ago. They seemed like very high quality pieces, fit perfectly, and ive been very impressed with them. By the way, changing the swaybar bushings and endlinks to the Prothane makes a noticeable difference and tightens up the car. I highly recommend them :D .

I only know of one thread to back it up, I can find it if I look. I was referring to the BMR thread wear the Poly bushings on 2 panhard bars had cracked and caused the panhard bar to break. These poly bushings were Prothane.

I have also been in touch with both Energy Suspension and Prothane through work relations and Energy Suspension's sales team has been much nicer and more helpful then I could get from Prothane. So I guess I was helping throw some business there way.
