Default Best LCA bushings?
Looking to order a set tonight, I figured if I'm doing the wheel bearing I might as well put my new struts on and if I'm doing the struts I might as well do the LCA bushings. Why not? Just got new tires too so now at 157K it's time to refresh the suspension. I'm looking for a comfortable ride, not hard bushings that make the ride quality harsh. Please let me know what bushings are best.

Not very "soft" but I have been real happy with the ride and the feel of the steering since the shop installed a Prothane kit....

Look at the Super Pro ones as well, I have no experience with those but they seems a bit softer then the Prothane.

Usually the best bushings are on brand new arms. I had super pro on my car and it was great.

I think he's saying the best bushings are the ones that come preinstalled on brand new arms.
