Hey everyone just bought a 95 eclipse GS-T . I would like to start with suspension and a complete bushing kit. anyone got any advice on what works the best or any tips on installation i would very much appreciate it. I guess I think it should handle good before I go too fast. Also anyone from Michigan besides me!

-If you're talking about the rubber bushings in the control arms and such, you need to remove the arms off the car, get a hydrolic press or have a shop press them out, another way is drill out as much material off the old bushing as possible, then use a propane torch to burn off the remaining rubber, the new urethan bushing can be slice in easily, must use the grease that come with the kit. After this bushing mod, along with some decent spring + strut, your car'll handle like it's on rail.

yeah got a couple clunks from worn out bushings. Do you reccomend any particular MFG?

-I have Energy Suspension, ask if go with other brand to see if the new bushings need to be pressed in or can just slice in. Some vendor(s) also make some subframe braces for the 2G.

DO you reccomend trans and engine mounts too?

-If they are still in good shape, I don't see why you need to replace them. If you're into 1/4ing which I'm not, there are some wheel hop elimator kit for you to launch your FWD more efficiently.
