Default Energy suspension questions

Today my suspension bushings finally arrived and I'm puzzled that the rear kit is labeled for 2000-2009 s2000. Power flex specifies a different part between the ap1 or ap2. Does anyone know what the deal or difference is?

I got mine through motovicity distributing and it was an ordeal that I would never go through again. eventually, energy and there respective distributors will have the items ready for shipping. but i ordered the first kit, and it took over a month to get it

im completely f@#ked if the rear bushings do not fit in the arms, so whats the difference b/w ap1 and ap2 rear arms

Why don't you try emailing power flex?

Honda doesn't sell the bushings. If your bushings are broken you have to buy new control arms for 390 a piece. I'd email powerflex, but, I already know they will say that: 1. There bushings are better than energy. 2 the ap2 got different bushings for a reason.

Max at energy suspension talked to the engineers and they guaranteed me that they are the same

Their not there... But you're right about not being able to buy bushings alone.
