so, I bought the Energy Suspension master kit today.. i'm wondering how you guys' went about installing yours. will I have to take anything to a machine shop for pressing? I have a torch so getting the old one's out will be no problem, my main concern is getting some of the bushings in.. any tips on this install? :newbie:

Torch the bushing out, then cut the sleeve and hammer it out. Clean and deburr the opening, then grease up and press the new ones with a vice. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

I know that the kits comes with just about everything except subframe bushings, are there any other bushings besides the subframe ones that arent included that may be a wise investment while replacing the rest?

Wow, my mistake, I'm sorry, I thought they were not included. sorry for the misinformation on that one.

Thats good to hear, makes me feel happier about when I purchase my kit. :)
