Energy suspension is the worst according to reviews and write ups. I did many readings before settling with Armstrong bushings. They are 1 piece urethane and so far so good. I have that same clunking noise from driver side and after the new bushing install the clunking quieted down but was still there. I decided to toe out front driver wheel as it looked off to pinpoint the problem and it went away. maybe alignment issues... maybe something else. I returned to my original settings and the clunking returned. Weird but just something I encountered.
So far I would do Armstrong,Nismo, or oem. There is another company out there but I have yet to get my hands on them. Still trying to work a package deal with them as it will be shipping internationally and so far as I know it no one in the states are running them.

^ I think that for just 1 bushing and the Energy Suspension is $58.00 for both. I will probably go with what is the cheapest.

Wait, energy is the worst as far as you've "read", but you still have a clunk with the Armstrong? I actually have energys on my G and they are awesome. They have corrected my caster problems and they have the same NVH as stock rubber bushings and they have also tightened up my steering. Not sure why you would endorse a product that doesn't solve your problem and then talk bad about a product that you know nothing about.

Yes.. isn't that what reviews and diy all about and you use the search the button for? The armstrong bushings corrected my caster issues also and has no NVH. My clunking noise quieted hence my problems lies somewhere else as its still there. I never said the clucking was from my compression rod bushings, but they where torn. I never did say it was the best, just a better option instead of the two piece design that can deflect over time and never did I personally bad mouth a product nor endorse one. I also stated nismo and oem was the other two I would go also if available. I can provide you with a vyvanse pill if it helps?
Just sayin..

Okay so I had new lower control arms installed a few weeks ago, but i still have clunking. So it is the compression rod then, are there any other names for this part so I can explain to my mechanic?

The lower control arm sits on top of the steering knuckle ball joint. There is another big ball joint facing down (toward the ground) right next to the knuckle ball joint (that one faces up). The downward facing ball joint is attached to a rod that has a bushing on the other end sandwiched between the subframe and the body of the car. That's the compression rod.
