Default I need opinions ...Please!

Alright-I have already been told by a few people on here that changing out your stock control arm bushings....or going all the way and changing out all rubber bushings for polyurithane ones....is a bitch to do and not worth it....well i found a place that will do it for me...so as long as they do it right....i dont care how hard it is to do....now here is my question......


I found some mugen hardrubber replacement bushings over at king motorsports....yes a little pricey...but since its mugen...they should be pretty damn good right? the other option would be to buy the whole set of replacement bushings made of polyurithane instead of rubber(made by energy suspension)i believe?

The reason for this...i hope....is that my control arm bushings are wore out beyond belief....because....they are so squeaky....you just want to shoot yourself in the head or jump out the window when riding in my car.
so i need some suggestions...please and thank you

If something in the suspension is squeaking, chances are it is not properly lubricated and therefore binding somewhat. If the bushing was blown, it would usually cause a rattle.

I'd go ES or Prothane because I can't justify paying that much to King for a block of rubber.

New Poly bushings are going to squeek a lot too if you don't lube them properly.
