    Default polyurathane advice

    I need a little advice. I am currently getting ready to replace the bushings in my '92 Integra due WAY to much dry-rot and control arm bushing failures. For obvious reasons I would rather for the price upgrade to polyurathane since the durability is better and they last MUCH longer by nature than rubber. Poly is also in a LOT of cases the same price if not cheaper than rubber. I am however kind of tossed up on ONE issue.
    I used Prothane mounts for my engine mounts, but, upon searching the Summit site I also found a brand called Energy Suspension. The products appear to be the same quality and the kits are also comparable, but, the PRICE difference is astronomicle. Has anyone used their products? Is there a difference in the quality or any reason why I should remain with Prothane over the Energy Suspension? I know better than to ask Summit the more I spend the happier they seem to be. :idb:

    Appreciate any advice ya'll can aim in my direction.

    Kewl, I was just concerned at first as there's almost a $100 difference in the 2. Didn't want to enjoy the price difference and find a box of junk when I opened the box. Been very happy with the Prothane, not happy enough to pay 100 for just the name though.
