Thumbs up SC Prothane Front Bushing Kit

Just want to tell you all I just got this kit installed and it did wonders to my ride quality. The adhesion and connection to the road is night and day with the new bushings. The old ones literally were gone. 2 Thumbs up for the kit and easy install by my mechanic.

Company: Prothane
Part #: 18-207-BL
Price: $66.98 out the door at JEGS
TIP: Be sure and call in to DOUBLE CHECK if its in stock
What you get: Complete FRONT upper and lower control arm bushings for both sides.

What it did for my ride:

1. Eliminated wheel hopping and shutter.
2. Increased adhesion and connection with road
3. Eliminated the famous CLUNK/Rattle sound going medium speed over bumps and dips.
4. Eliminated the unnecessary wheel arching when stopping and reversing.
5. Increased stability at all speeds
6. Increased camber correction which also made my wheels flush so thats a plus!

Negatives:

1. You will FEEL the road more
2. Alignment is needed after install!

Hope this helps some of you that are still fencing sides about replacing these little bastards that destroy the ride quality.

Regards,

Nick

I put prothane bushing all around on my MR2 and it made a huge difference. Well worth the money and it's on my list of things for my SC. Wasn't too bad to install. Hardest part was getting the old ones out.

Yeah thats what my mechanic said, but the installation was a breeze afterwards.

Was it really necessary to make a thread in the SoCal forum, SC general forum AND the Suspension forum?
