Energy Suspension v. Prothane

[tsunari]

Which would you suggest/prefer for a daily driver that sees the track/autox/etc . . . Energy Suspension or Prothane bushings (all around -- motor mounts, control arms, etc . . .)

I've had prothane motor mounts in my car for about a year now and they are stiff. I was hoping for them to "break-in" but thats not going to happen.

I've had the energy suspension bushings, for the rest of the car, in place for about two to three years now and love the way they feel. Everything feels solid and not to much vibration.

i just got the new prothanes in along with the balance shaft removed. my cars a daily driver kinda and i absolutely love it.

ES definately tighten up the engine feel, but they don't cause vibration nearly as much as full poly mounts. For a daily driver I would say the only way to go is ES.

I got BSE and prothane mounts. As a daily driver it vibrates like a mutha!

I use Energy Suspension. They were just cheaper at the time.....

When I was installing my prothane motor mounts, I had a fellow DSMer keep telling me I was going to lose fillings. Honestly, I barely notice the extra vibration. And wheel hop is about as gone as it can be on a FWD.

Summit has the ES for 19.99 and the prothane for 65.00, will the ES kit with what i assume is the front and rear mounts only, prevent wheel hop...or are all 4 nessicary?

I got the ES inserts and that definitely helped get rid of some wheel-hop. Right now I need the driver and passgener mounts, so was kind of looking @ prothane for those and keeping my ES front and rear inserts.
