Default Bushing Kits

Can anyone recommend a good bushing kit for a C4? I was thinking of purchasing Mid America Motorworks Prothane complete kit.

Doing the install is no fun at all, but well worth the result.

agreed with the lots of grease. they give you a little red tub, not nearly enough. to do the whole car i went through the red tub and i believe 6-9 of the little packs you can buy seperate (theyre cheap, i ordered them on the website when i ordered the sway bar bushings. overall the job wasnt bad, i did mine at the same time as all new ball joints, tie rods, front/rear springs, shocks, u joints, etc so i had the whole suspension out anyway

Where did you guys get your energy kits? I looked at energy kits on summit racing but couldn't find a master kit with the same part number as the one in the energy catalog.
