Full bushing Kit... where from???

Where's the best and/or closest place to us for a a "Full" energy suspension poly bushing kit??? By best I mean where is the cheapest place for me to buy a full bushing kit from.

I've only seen kits from the US and some arn't full kits. I'd rather buy something local if possible.

EDIT: I've even heard of it being cheaper to just pick up the bushings individually than to buy in kit form...

Performance Cellar in Stoney Creek can get all the individual components that you need and give you a good price for ordering it all from them. That's where I got all my Energy Suspension stuff from. There is no real true "one-stop-shop" kit.

I did a little searching here at the boards and actually came across THIS bushing kit from Spohn Performance Inc. I think it has everything minus engine and tranny bushings which I actually don't need right now anyway.

Gonna trying piecing it together from summit and see if it's a deal or not

just remember you have to know the dimensions on your swaybars...so you can get the " full " kit . Shillings in Cambrige is a ditributor of Energy suspension parts . I am not sure but if all the companies are selling Pollyuerothane ( can't spell) I think they gotta be as good as one another.


good luck

I just went by karbelt today and they have individual energy suspension pieces for sale... heck everything's for sale this month, so figure what size and dimensions you need and go get some.

Any distributor seels 'em separate . I found all I need is the control arm bushings , tranny , sway bars , end links and something else I forget right now . But I didn't need the motor mounts ...cause I ain't pulling the motor to put them in ....... that'll come later . All those come to around 30-40 bucks ...and they are on their way

you can just take out the bolt holding the motor mount to the block and jack up one side of the engine at a time to change your motor mounts... no need to pull the engine

Bob Schilling said I'd have to .... he was going to sell'em to me ...... I thought it was generous advice from a vendor/ drag car builder/racer . As for me .......I have no clue . I have only changed 'em in a pontiac 6000 once Sumfin I should look into though

Thanx Rega Planet for the heads up

well I'm not trying to argue with anyone on this... and I havn't changed motor mounts in anything but a racecar that doesn't have to deal with all the extra emissions, a/c etc... crap in the engine bay but thought it was a feasable solution

no ...no I am just stateing I heard too different opinions that's all .

Any how it had something to do with a two piece design ...that had to come apart .....and the Poly inserted inbetween the two parts ....( totally NOT what the ones I delt with looked like LOL !!!!!)

When I do a swap I'll get'em LOL
