The bushing round up
Been trying to figure out what to do with my own car. Created this list, I'm sure someone will find it useful.
Front uppers
Spoon lists the rear uppers and front uppers as the same, so does mugen. You can purchase rear oem bushings from majestic for 28 bucks. I have no idea if that's true or not. I hope someone can chime in.

Order I just placed:
Energy rear: 123.44
Powerflex race compliance: ~185
Powerflex race front lower: ~60
Challenge front upper offset delrin: ~165
and all new boots for the ball joints and tie rod ends: 84.66
So a little over 600 bucks and that gets a proper compliance bushing upgrade (I am not a fan of the energy units here) and no points camber adder up front. I think this ends up being the best value if you don't have a crazy amount of miles on your ball joints already.

I'm doing:
Challenge Offset front Uppers $165
Energy Suspension Rear Uppers (got them for free so why not)
Mugen Compliance $110
Power flex race for the rest $270 (front lower front, both rear lowers, and rear toe)
Total ~$550
The front uppers are the same on all years. the rear uppers are the same as the fronts on the AP1. AP2 had a rear suspension change and are a different size.

those are some nice bushings, and good to know on the ap1/2 front/rear upper's was wondering why some listed them different. ap1/2. also updated the list with the challenge bushings. nice find, do they eliminate the need for an sbc?
i have had my powerflex compliance for over 2 years and i love them. they dont make any noise and i didnt have to regrease them as of yet.
i plan to do all power flex this year but am not sure how to press certain bushings out due to the shape and lip of the bushings.
if anyone has a good diy besides the burn it out approach that would be great.

You must burn out the bushing with the 2 piece shell. It has a shoulder on each side and csnnot be pressed out in one shot.

I have Powerflex race in the front upper, rear upper, and rear lower.
I have Hardrace pillowball on the front compliance and the front lower inner, as well as on all four lower shocks.
I also have the Hardrace Roll Center Adjusters on all four corners, and the engine transmission and diff mounts.
So far I'm really pleased with what this has done for the feel and driveability of the car.
(I do think the Hardrace front Roll Center Adjuster has very poor fitment, and I wouldn't recommend it, the Jay's Racing one is much nicer and worth the extra money.)
