Energy Suspension

I ordered some energy suspention bushings from Courtesy over two weeks ago and they are still on backorder. Are there any other places that are just as cheap where I can order them? Also, the KYB dust boots are number 103 and 108 right? Thats what I have and I want to double check. Thanks.

We are in the same boat, from the same place. I ordered some lower control arm bushings from them on April 16.
They told me "Sorry, parts we finally shipped to us on the 25th of March, should ship to you in 3-4 days Thanks, Randy"

I have emailed them twice (in four days) but I have not received a reply.

If they are backordered I wish they would just tell me. Don't leave me in the DARK.

Well I called Courtesy today to cancel my order and it turns out my stuff was shipped yesterday. I am trying to decided whether to keep it or send it back for a refund. I already had my car lowered and dont really want to install these myself. Anyone know how much good these will be and if they are worth the money?

Energy Suspension makes transmission mounts, but i dont see an application for our cars. Does anybody else know of any polyurethane transmission mounts, or any after market mounts. Does place racing make transmission mounts for 4th gens?

Read this if you haven't already and decide for yourself.

You can buy the bushings from www.suspension.com for a good price with fast shipping. Your part numbers for the KYB dustboots (103 & 108) ARE correct.

With 39k miles I would assume all of your OEM parts are in excellent condition. But this is not something I should assume, you should jack the car up and inspect the parts yourself. If you see any cracking or tearing of the boot, replace it. If everything is still soft and nothing is showing signs of excessive wear, you will be okay using the stock ones. If you do use the stock ones however, you will need to cut your bumpstop in half (whereas the KYB bumpstops are naturally shorter). Most people replace their front strut bearings with the suspension (they run $63.XX shipped from Courtesy), but I doubt you need to change yours since you have such low mileage. I replaced mine last week and I have 70k miles, but I did notice a good amount of wear on them.
