Energy Susp. FSB Bushings: How-To Instructions...

Enjoy. I'm sending an email to our rep confirming perfect fitment. Once he gets my thumbs up, he should be releasing them to Cattman shortly after.

Polo, let me know if you have installed front lower control arm bushing set. I took a try at it and gave up. I could not easily remove the entire control arm and didn't want to spend the rest of the day torching, hammering the OEM's and trying to mash the new ones into place. It's killing me to have them still sitting in the box. I don't want to have to bring it to a shop for install. I hate giving up and laying out the cash. Thanks for the write up on the FSB...how much of difference did you notice?

heading to miami next weekend, so i won't be able to look at the car until the following week. only reason i did this one was cause it just was THAT simple.
as far as after effects, i did my tests by going over some corners where i drive everyday to go to work. i noticed a signifacnt improvement in the leaning of the car. it didn't feel like it leaned that much. i haven't really pushed it to the edge as my mother was in the car, but later on tonite, i'll take a corner quickly or take an exit/entrance quickly and see what improvements exist. as far as feel though, these feel stronger/tougher/firmer than the OEMs that i pulled out

i've switched to H&R's and tokico's for the time being. winter's been killing my car with the low ride, so i brought it up with these. i'm very happy with this new setup. let's see what i ultimately decide.
