Energy Suspension Bushings kit

Is it just me or does it seem silly that this kit includes only bushings for the front end which are kind of pointless. For example: some of the only bushings which could be replaced without having to press them in are the antisway-bar bushings (not included). When I took apart the front end and found 3 bad ball joints on each side it seemed kind of silly that all the control arms came with new bushings anyway. Once I get it all back together I will have new: upper control arms, trailing arms, power steering bellows, an anti-sway bar link on the passenger side as well as a new cv boot. The box of all those bushings was useless ! I can't justify the amount of work it would take to replace those brand new bushings with the ES ones.

I said the same things when I went to install my Prothane Total kit. After 4 days of BS, I installed all 26-28 bushings. Night and day difference.

That's your choice, of course, but the amount of effort required doesn't alter the fact that poly bushings that rotate smoothly and without much resistance are better than bonded rubber bushings that merely twist.
