In my search for cheaper/available poly bushings for my rear trailing arms and front strut rod cushions, I found this place:


http://www.priracing.com/section.php/268/1/ls400

I just ordered an received SPF2989K, SPF3016K, and SPF2249K.

I'll post back once I've installed them with driving impressions


EDIT:

After installing the front strut rod bushings and both rear trailing arm bushings, all I have to say is that SuperPro Bushings are a notch above the competition. The bushings themselves have equal if not better material quality compared to Energy Suspension and Daizen. The most notable difference between these bushings and say Daizen or ES is that they have grease recesses molded into them to retain grease in areas where it's most needed to avoid squeaks. The grease that they came with is also different compared to other bushing manufacturers in the the sense that they use a teflon type paste/grease instead of the sticky type grease that the others usually use.

Key points for SuperPro Bushings:
-Equal polyurethane material quality compared to ES and Daizen
-Molded grease recesses in key areas of the bushings to retain grease for better lubrication
-Teflon grease paste instead of sticky grease for more long lasting lubrication.

Driving Impressions:

Just like any poly bushing install the driving characteristics of the vehicle are noticeably improved. On my particular vehicle (93 LS400) the rear bushings solved my uneven braking, wandering, and clunking issues. The front strut rod bushings solved my other clunking issue that I've been chasing down for the past few months and further improved steering response.
As an overall impression, the vehicle feels more responsive and nimble while still remaining comfortable. I would recommend this upgrade to anyone. If you haven't replaced your rear trailing arm/carrier bushings or your front strut rod bushings and you have over 100k mi, I suggest you do it now, because the difference is incredible.

Feel free to PM me for any installation questions.

Wow, ordering from the UK? Shipping alone will cost 1/2 or more of the bushing costs.

Wrong... shipping was like $25 for 3 sets of bushings. Well worth it man.

No custom fees? Wow.

Not to be a smart guy but what's the point, I mean the UK bushings are Poly and so are the Daizen ones ??

cation

True, I actually have Daizens installed on my front control arms and sway bars.

However, I challenge you to find Daizen bushings for the rear of the LS let alone poly front strut rod cushions for the 90-94 LS.

The only reason I shared this info is because it's another option for poly bushings and they have wider application range. PRI offers poly bushings for applications currently not available in the states like 90-94 front strut rod cushions among others.

FYI ordering all 4 rear trailing arm/carrier bushings from PRI is cheaper than ordering 4 ADUS bushings for the same application.

well the rubber strut bar bushings fro the 90-94 are about the same price from the dealer iirc, ~$100-130/each.

cation

What you say is true, but it's $130 for only one strut bar cushion... $260 for both.

I got both in poly for about $193 from PRI... it's just another cost effective upgrade option is all. My $0.02.

yes, it is cheaper, but you WILL lost some ride quality in the process. i'm just point out that this isnt really for the person looking for an OEM style quiet as a cathedral ride.

cation

I agree 100%!

Coming from my WRX, 240sx, and FA5 civic, this thing still seems like I'm riding on a cloud.

Has anyone ever installed the Rear Diffferential Pinion Mount Bushings and where do they go ? Thanks
