I landed up buying the black energy bushings for the compressor rods. After installing I realized they make a RED and BLACK compound. Apparently the BLACK is harder? Mine make tons of noise on a warm day. I can hear it inside the car mainly going over uneven parking lots or speed bumps. In normal driving the exhaust drowns it out. Have you have this issue with the RED bushings? The noise didn't start until 6 months after install. It's too much of a pain to try and regrease them every few months.

Oh, no its a ball joint on one end AMD bushing on the other. The bj is irreplaceable which is why I'm trying to sell these new arms with the poly option. I'm actually lowering the price to $260+ shipping but gotta do it from my comp. Won't let me do it on my phone for some reason.

I've read this a lot about aftermarket bushings. They can take abuse a lot better than the oem rubber bushings, but be prepared for some noise or squeaking. However, it's kinda like a "must-have" if you're lowering your car. It's sorta the reason I've held off from lowering my car for a little while (among other things). What do you guys think? I don't have a garage with a bunch if tools and grease laying around. If I were to lower my car, I would really like to just lower it to a reasonable height (not slammed), maybe on some 20's and not have to worry about jacking up my car. If that's unrealistic thinking,let me know.
