Most of them are in the $40-$60 range. Use the diagram on the previous p. 1 to look up part numbers http://www.tein.com/products/superpro_price_09.html

They actually polish up quickly, I was suprised. The full bushing kit is installed, now I just have a few other items to take care of and I can get back on the road

Pressed in my SuperPro's this weekend along with all new pillow-***** and LCA inner OEM bushings. Decided to go with aftermarket toe links and keep my stock tie rods with the SuperPro bushings. I cant wait to get the car back on the road and feel the difference, my old bushings were shot.

A good friend of mine has a press and has done this on his own FD as well as a few other FD's so he already knew exactly which sockets to use to press out each bushing... With his help the whole process went alot faster than I had expected.

I paid a shop to do the whole job (with a hydraulic press), since I just don't have the time - including polishing all the pieces it was 14 hrs of labor, so not cheap, but it has to be done with performance cars this old, or the handling nosedives

I may get the Powerflex or Superpro set for my S2000 in a couple of years - rubber wears out fast

i gotta find someone with a press that wont charge an ridiculous amount ..

i couldn't get a hold of ard t2 to buy the super pro bushings from, but i found some here https://www.hinsonsupercars.com/default.aspx i called them and asked they had them in stock, which they did and for a little cheaper in price as well, it was 520 + 19.03Shipping= 539.03 for me , instead of 560 shipped from ard so if anyone is planning on buying and wants to save 20 dollars, id def call first to make sure they have more in stock just in case

$150. I'm sure that's less than paying anybody, plus you have a cool tool.

That was just a single kit. He bought a full kit for his car, but decided not to use it... I just got lucky to come across his for sale thread

.....or you can support a forum vendor and rotary enthusiast instead of a shop that promotes the bastardization of the FD, and who's had some bad press in the past as well. Of course, if twenty bucks means that much to ya then by all means.

Just sayin'

Wasn't only the 20 bucks, I couldn't get ahold of the guy, from pm or email, 4 days of waiting and saw that he did atleast log on within that time period and still haven't heard back. Last I heard of him was from an email i sent saying his pm box is full(on the 16th). He said I cleared my box.* Can you pm me there.

I need to check stock on the kit

Rishie"

Yes I know I don't like the non rotary thing either. What kinda bad press did they have?

I'm just curious, did you try Jason (RX-7 Store)? I've heard he usually doesn't have the kits in stock, just wondering

Get some Energy Suspension grease, I was impressed with the stuff - Prothane is also good
