Bushings

My last post did not turn out right. What I was asking was..Is there a noticable difference between some of the company's products Energy Suspension, PST, Prothane, etc. I had also noticed that Energy Suspension and PST come with different bushings in there complete package, and was wondering in your guys opinion whats better. (I had listed both but it never turned out). So here we go again.
Energy Suspension complete kit comes with:

Control Arm (Front & Rear)
Front End Link
Transmission Mount
Rear Panhard Rod
Tie Rod End Boots

PST Kit (Font End) comes with

Lower Ball Joints
Outer Tie Rod Ends
Lower Control Arm
Upper Control Arm
Strut Rod
Stabilizer Links
Sway Bar
Control Arm

Has anybody had any problems with any of these or have any recommendations??
Darrell

The only real difference between PST and ES is PST uses polygraphite, and ES uses polyurethane. The polygraphite supposedly doesn't squeak compared to polyurethane, but I have all ES bushings on my car and get no squeaks.

Most companies use products made by Energy Suspension, just repackaged.

Figure out how much of a kit you need and order, or or just order individual stuff. If you don't need ball loints or a-arm bushings, don't order the kit with them. The kits you listed have many different items. How far into it do you wanna go?

I rebuilt my whole suspension with the stuff I wanted specifically to meet a need. Weekend road racing, as well as a daily driver. Not a kit.
  • Eibach Race Springs - 850 ft, 175 rr
  • Ground control ride height adjusters, ft & rr
  • A-arm & 36 mm sway bar bushings from Guldstrand
  • as well as Guldstrand sway bar end link kit
  • Moog ball joints
  • adjustable LCA's and PanHard Rod from Spohn
  • Tokico gas shocks rear, TPIS re-valved struts front
