Who has or are currently using them? I am thinking on getting them and just want to know how good they really are.

On the control arm bushings they make a world of difference. I find the prothane ones to be a little stiffer, but the energy ones to be easier to install.

I run a full ES kit in the SRT and front LCA bushings, MM Inserts and endlinks in the SXT. I love them, the SRTs kit has been in since 2006 and it made a world of difference.

I also found out a few days ago that I have to replace the inserts on my motor mounts. At least the top ones that I see right now. Haven't gotten underneath to check out the rest.

I think it is the other way around for install. ES are hated by many. I personally didn't have any huge problems installing mine, but then I also have a press.

yeah, prothane = easy to install... energy makes you want to rage.

Yeah the ES's were a bitch to install on both cars. I forgot that I have the MM inserts in the SXT as well. I edited my post. Regardless of the install I do like them

My LCA's had to be pressed in. They took a lot of the slop out of the front end of the car though. Good money spent I thought.

i agree the prothanes were a very simple install. a torch makes the job alot quicker too

That sucks that you have to change your engine mounts. My boyfriend and I had to do this on his old beater car, and it was a pain in the behind. Good luck with all that. I hope you don't have to change anything on the underside!

So do I... Yeah all the upper mm's inserts are cracked.
