Would this be a good "bushings" kit?

I'm sure it would serve you well, just make sure you grease them well. I went w/ the Energy Suspenion brand, picked mine up from Summit.

I was perusing my VPB catalogue yesterday.

They have a whole series of cool poly bushings.

I found this on eBay. Does it look like what you bought?

If I were you, I'de go with Energy Suspension over the Prothane bushings. When you get to the a-arms and you use Prothane you'll know what I mean.

Energy. We did have the Prothane bushings once. We had a huge a-arm order and we went w/prothane b/c they were cheaper but it wasn't worth it at all. We even called them to let them know that their bushings were oversized. Nothing ever happened and now we stick w/Energy.
