There is a place here in Stoney Creek that sell ES products. If you want a set Sam, just send me the part number, and I can pick you up a set. The place is called Performance Cellar. 1-877-307-9364.

big difference i found after putting them in
only takes a 20 mins or so to do in the driveway with ramps or jackstands
also put in the short shifter at the same time
really made the shifts alot nicer

What are the benefits of upgrading those bushings? Will you even feel it?

After doing the bushings i've found my car to have much less body roll, i can feel the road through the suspension better and it gives a lot bumpier ride...

So exactly where does the rear trailing arm bushings go?? Is it a big job to put in? What the theory behind their benefits? And you said it gives a bumpier ride; isn't that a bad thing?

It would be a resonable big job to put in the trailing arm bushings... is a bumpier ride a bad thing? well i guess that depends, the bushings will give you a noticable increase in handling at the sake of ride comfort... It really up to you with what you want out of your car!

When i took the bushings out of my car they where nearly seperated, all it took was a little push... scary that i was drving like 160 on the QEW only weeks before.
