Does anyone know if there is a kit of rubber bushes you can buy. Would you buy the eclipse kit just in rubber form? I have urethane at the moment and I find it a bit harsh so wouldn't mind going back to rubber. Plus the squeaking is annoying the shit out of me

where did you buy the poly kit from and how much?

AND... how much did it cost to fit, or you did it yourself?

I thought the only kits mentioned have been for prothane?

Scott, ages ago when rebuilding an old car I dropped off all the individual components to pedders and they rebushed them all for me. All 4 corners, ball joints and all for ~$650. That was for an old monaro though.

I'm going to look at doing the same again.

Hey,

Which Energy Suspensions kit did you get? I have just bought the Eclipse kit with the Black bushings which are supposed to have graphite in them as well, which should stop the squeeking. The Red ones dont have this.

Havent gotten to fitting them as yet. Should be done in the next 2 weeks

Regards

Gavin

im ordering the prothane kit tomorrow- take photos of all the arms / places the bushes replace, and ill do the same. That will give us an idea of what can be covered by each kit.

This sounds interesting. Wonder if they are as harsh as the ones I have though

Hey,

I bought both the Eclipse Suspension kit and the Engine Mount replacement kit. Together including shipping it was $298Usd including postage. Here are the order details and part numbers. You just need to note that in this engine mount kit, it has a larger front roll mount rubber than cant be fitted into the Legnum mount. It needs the Eclipse front roll mount housing which needs to have the mounting holes filed back. I am still awaiting the eclipse mount to come from the US.

There is a lot of detail about this in the suspensions thread.
