which energy suspension kit?
Okay so I've been looking around at bushing kits and found that both summit and hawks have them at quite different prices, anyone know if theres a difference or if theres a better kit I should look at?

Re: which energy suspension kit?
I agree with James. Before you buy any 'kit' look at what parts you plan to work on. If you see your LCA's are kind of bad, you might want to entertain the idea of buying aftermarket lca's, and deffinatly get an adjustable panhard bar.
A few things that you should get regardless of condition would be poly front and rrear sway bar mounts and endlinks. Since my ES rear mounts wern't greaseable, i put them on the mill and made a hole through the mount and bushing, than taped a zerk onto them.
Do some looking around and search, nearly EVERYTHING on these cars has been discussed. Good luck
