Switching from ES TA bushing to Mugen

[pbcdb]

Right now I have Energy Suspension Trailing Arm bushings on my car and I don't like them that much. I'm trying to decide on whether or not to get the mugen bushings in hopes of a better ride. I was just wondering if any of you have had exerience with these bushings and was wondering your thoughts about this.

If you want it to ride better, go back to stock.

Check out the Prothane bushings - includes all new metal. You must re-use the metal with the ES bushing, if I remember right.

To my understanding you cannot get the stock bushings without getting a new trailing arm.

I have looked into the prothane ones but they too are made from polyurethane and would be just as stiff as the ES bushings, and I would like one that aren't as stiff.

Yes you are correct the ES bushings use the O.E. metal piece that connects the TA to the body.

As far as the mugen bushings go, they are made from a harder rubber than stock. And are said to have a smoother ride than polyurethane bushings. Can anybody tell me if the differece between the ES and Mugen bushings will be like "night and day" as far as smoothness goes?
