Prothane Total Kit

Does anyone know what exactly is in a Total Kit for the third gens? I suppose they leave out the sway bushings. Their site didn't lay it out very well.

Is this what they sent you?

What size sway bar bushings did they send?

If there is a choice, Summit doesn't list it anyway.

I don't think that is right. In addition to the sway bar bushings, which torque arm bushing did they send.

If you are looking for a "complete" kit, I would look into the Spohn kit. I picked one up last year and it had everything:

Torque arm bushing
trans mount
front LCA bushings
rear LCA bushings
PHR bushings
sway bar end links
sway bar bushings (upgraded to 36/24)

It is a really good kit and the price seems to be good on it, too.

I just took a look at the Spohn kit. Is that the Prothane kit or the Spohn version of the Prothane kit? You can select the sway bar and torque arm bushings on this kit, unlike what I was looking at on the Summit site. I am guessing that is why the Spohn kit is higher bucks, because you are adding to the standard Total Kit. Anyone know if I am assuming correctly?

I think that he puts together his own kits based on parts available. I got mine with the 36/24 swaybar bushings and I am not sure who made those bushings... but the front bar is greasable.

I thought it was the best kit going.
