I have a few questions about the ES bushings:

1) will they reduce torque steer?
2) are there other good brands for bushings?
3) what can i expect to pay for them?

TIA

1, not if you have a turbo! the pourpose of the m-mounts is to reduce the movement of the motor and it stiffens up the chassie a bit also. You might get a small reduction but the goal is to eliminate the trans from smacking the x-member and cracking it.

2, sure for alot more $ JWT and PR sell them

3, $29 for the f/r $29(?) for the l/r

Oops, I should have made myself clear. I am talking about suspension bushings, not motor mounts. I already have aftermarket motor mounts.

Doh! I should have read the title of the thread.

I heard the ES bushings help wheel hop but I haven't heard anything about tourqe steer. They are on my list of mods to do.

Mike... the dumbass

The ES control arm bushings were one of the best mods done to my car. When I took it to Carlsbad Raceway about a year ago I didn't have them and during the launch, my wheels move forward in the well about 3"!!! It's not as bad in a B13 as the control arm bushings in them are a little better than the B14.

The bushings took a good amount of torque steer away (although I don't think you can get rid of all of it in a high hp turbo car). I also have a lot better straight line traction than I did without them.

I highly recommend them!
