Energy Suspension

Well I just ordered Energy Suspensions Hyper Flex Bushing Kit from Summit. Im just wondering what everyones experiences were like with Energy Suspensions products. I have heard they are good but I figure I would ask anyways. Also it seems like the kit doesnt include much according to Summit, is that true?

Re: Energy Suspension

I have ES throughout. No problems. I'd purchase as needed instead of buying the kit.

Re: Energy Suspension

The kit is a waste of money. Unless they have lowered the price on the kit it isn't worth it. I am in no way saying ES is horrible but the totalkit is overpriced. WAY CHEAPER to piece a kit together as needed.

Re: Energy Suspension

The kit may be over priced, but energy suspension parts are great.

Re: Energy Suspension

Besides "overpriced", I ended up not using stuff...

The endlinks are longer than stock and there was only 1 set (need 2)...

Some of the bushings just replace the stock ones, not the ones I need (well, don't really need now) for my new LCA's and Panhard bar...

So I agree, probably would of been best to get the pieces you need when you do... like the torque arm bushing... not in kit...

As far as quality of part... no problems...
