They are stiffer. They will make your car handle better.

better handling, stiffer, best of all you dont have to use a press to install them

Price is on par with the stock rubber bushings.

worn out bushings will make the car wander, mess with your allignment and cause premature tire wear, I'd get it fixed ASAP!

How difficult is installation?
You dont need an impact wrench do you?

it would probably help greatly, but no, you shouldn't. You probably should have a nice long breaker bar though.

I am looking at the courtesy parts website under the Energy section to get these bushings but i dont see them listed for a 2000 SE. Can someone help me out and paste the link to the page that has them for a 2000.
Thanx
