Prothane or Energy Suspension?
Which is better and why? I am looking at getting engine and tranny mounts right now, but will soon be replacing all bushings with some type of poly. Which should I go with? I have heard prothane doesn't squeek and fits a little better. Is this true?

i got my prothane tranny mount from spohn, nice directions and easy install, nice and solid with no extra plates to worry about, if i had the chance of would buy their engine mounts also, i am not worried aobut alittle vibration i like a nice solid feel to the car.

I just changed all my front bushings to Energy Suspension ones, no squeaks yet. Just make sure you lube them up with the included packets of grease.
I think both brands are probably equal in quality... ES is the more popular name, which is why, I think, Prothane is cheaper. For example, Summit always carried ES, but only started carrying Prothane 3 or 4 years ago. 3 or 4 years ago, the only other spot I saw Prothane bushings was in the JCWhitney catalog!

I just replied to your email for the 3rd time. It keeps bouncing back. Just an FYI. I answer email promptly, but if it bounces back, what can I do?

I guess the restart worked. I got the mail. Thanks for the info. I will most likely purchase everything from you. One question though, how how much does a tool to measure my sway bars cost?
EDIT: Also, obviously you chose the prothane over ES. Just wondering what your reasons were?

Digital Caliper for $19.99 (good tool to have)

Prothane's quality far exceeds ES' (my opinion of course)

Thanks Steve. Sorry for badmouthing you. I had no idea you had tried to send the mail. To anyone who may be considering buying a spohn product I would highly recommend it, just based on excelent customer service.
