Pro's: nice suspension compliance, little flex.

 

Con's: Its suspension work and it sucks big red rocks... (sorry Thats probably uncalled for but I'm just finishing the front on mine and my hands are battered, I think I'll have someone else do the back.. icon_mad.gif ).

Did it on mine but haven't driven it yet. It allows you to replace the nasty rotted rubber with something that won't rot icon_smile.gif Con is it might squeek like a herd of mice! Buy some extra lube and use lot's of it - you'll be happier. Go through the archives and you'll find some links for getting the set cheap...

I have some G-machine products from VB. They look like good quality--but nothing is installed yet, sorry! I have heard that polygraphite squeeks much less than polyurethane. If you don't like suspension squeeks, look into finding polygraphite bushings. I think that is what Auxilary bought for his black 240Z recently.

I used the Hyper-flex kit and yes, it does suck big red rocks to install, but at least it gives you the chance to do a very thorough and complete teardown of your suspension. It helped me become familiar with what was going on under there. My bushings are just plain old polyurethane and I'm yet to hear a single creak or squeak out of them. I mostly just hear my struts bonking up and down over every bump in the road, a problem I'm still working on fixing. icon_wink.gif
