I have an EVO 7 and it's about 4 years old now. Suspension feels loose and lots of suspension noise. It's problably time to replace the suspension bushings.

Choices I know of are Ralliart and Proflex.
RalliArt ones are hard rubber and the "power flex" is polyeurothane. I've heard that eurethane bushings can squeek and are too hard for the street.

I'm interested to hear inputs from people whom have upgraded this in their cars.

Thanks.

 

Bushings are probably one of the most effective upgrades; there are - if I remember correctly on top of my head - 28 different bushing areas that can use an upgrade to urethane bushings with varying degree of benefits. However, as you take the rubber out and put urethane, it is going to feel like on stone and terribly noisy; hard to stand it unless it is a pure competition car.

However, energy suspension (http://www.energysuspension.com/) makes some of the best bushings.

 

Deck Mechanical, Iida, Bozz, all have them .

 

Thanks for inputs.

Any owners have personal experience with ralliart hard rubber bushings or the energies?

 

I have no personal experience yet, but Energy Suspension does have a full hyper flex kit for the Evo now...

 

I'll see if I can get ferrerokid to post a review..he got the Energe master kit from us a while ago

 

Try Whiteline.... www.whiteline.com.au

 

any word on these enegry suspension bushings?

 

yeah i want a write up or review....i think curt brown did it also (CBRE) on here

they've been out for awhile now, but I dont see many write ups.....every customer of ours that has them raves about em

 

I'm definitely interested. What are some options for motor mounts?

 

What about motor mounts? Energy Suspension does not have motor mounts on their web site.

 

Ralliart has a set of motormounts. They aren't too badly priced either @ $140. The vendor Pwerks (I believe?) advertised them at one time.

 

ha I brought this thread back from the dead!

 

Correct the motor mounts are offered from Ralliart.....there are some guys on the boards that got them from us. We have not started stocking these yet, frankly due to lack of demand - and they are quite stiff!
