Suspension Bushing Upgrade?
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.

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!
