Energy Suspension Bushings

I guess it would be an understatement to say that the group deal for these bushings is doing very well. So I am just curious if any 5th gen owners have install these bushings. I am looking for your impressions if you already have them installed. I am thinking about installing them sooner than I planned. From what I hear, these bushings are noisy. And to add to that, I was on the 300zx forums and someone posted something about the lower control arm cracking on some Z32s that had ES tension rod bushings on them. This has be worried a bit. The first thing that I notice after opening the packaging, is how hard and stiff they are. I can get an idea of how what I said earlier about the Z32 control arms cracking could happen. Anyways, does anyone have experience with these bushings?

I'd like to know too. I talked to Greg Vogel over at Mossy Nissan, he has some urethane bump stops for 5th gens (not sure on the brand) and I need to replace mine since the asshole that installed my suspension, cut the bumpstops too much and my suspension bottoms out big time when going over a bump.

I'd be interested in the ES bushings...

Excuse my ignorance but where are the bumpstops?
