I'd usually recommend Energy Suspension for any aftermarket bushing.. I personally put in OEM when i did my rear disc swap..



but this guy says..

If you installed the solid ES bushings, you would no longer get that flex in there. That is only desired if you were driving a drag strip car.



then this guy says..

I agree with the CR-V upgrade personally for a cheap oem upgrade. But also like poly alot too. Ultimate choice would be poly.

yeah you either go with factor, the CR-V upgrade or you do a poly bushing or a spherical bushing.

Really in the fact that if that is the only bushing that is poly you might not notice it being that stiff. I run the Hardrace and hard to tell since I replaced all the suspension at the same time.

I too use the Hardrace bushings throughout. I recommend those.

"stiffer" is not always "better"... fyi
