Energy suspension hyper flex master kit

Hello,

I've been searching but I have not found a review on these bushings. I've seen them mentioned but not anything in depth.

I've started to noticed that my front end seems to wander a little. The roads were I'm currently at are not the best and seems to shorten the life of bushings lol. I'm looking at replacing my control arm front and rear bushings along with the rear diff bushings as well since with hard shifts it has the loud clunk noise.

Any experiences with this kit?

hey there just had this set installed in my evo earlier this year amazing improvement on all fronts handling got so much tighter and predictable and there was actually less noise after as far as the clunks from the suspension go the rear diff bushings definetly took care of the clunk coming from back there especially under hard shifts definetly up there in happy mods department

That's good to hear since I'm about to place the order. I'm also looking at their shifter base bushings, and new strut top mounts as mine are cracking. Might as well take advantage of the winter build time haha

i was looking at this when i first got my evo but didnt get it because it seems to be lacking compared to the same kit for other cars...for example, i bought this kit for my last car which was an srt4 and it was way more complete than the one for the evo...

Did the same on a 1st gen neon, luckily I was able to use a press but even then some were a huge pain.

Enjoy the install

You should consider Ralliart bushings. The Ralliart ones are OEM quality and made from higher durometer rubber than stock. Polyurethane bushings have their drawbacks (not the least of which is noise).

This thread lists the Ralliart part numbers http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=394898

The bushings can be found for a decent price on RHD japan http://www.rhdjapan.com/ralliart-bus...ront-ct9a.html or BRR http://www.brr.at/cms/baumschlager_r...racing_en.html

Any bushings not listed on their site can usually be added just by sending an email to RHD Japan asking them to add the part to their website. Or just email BRR and ask them for package deal pricing on a full set.

I run full Ralliart bushings on my Evo and they are noise free and perform exactly like you would expect Group N bushings to.
