Hi, I am looking for a poly bushing master kit for my 1961 Impala (I donīt wanna collect every single bushing).
Energy Suspension once had a master kit that covered every bushing but they do not offer it anymore.
The only bigger kit I found is from Prothane (front and rear control arms, tie rod boots and trans mount) - Are they any good or does anone have a better idea?

Nobody?
Ok, I found some bigger sets from Energy Suspension and Prothane – Any experiences with these brands?
Or is there maybe another and better brand to go with?
What would you throw in these X-Frame Impalas

Energy Suspension and Prothane are both top notch companies, both have been around for a long time. Shouldn't have a problem with either one. Just keep in mind a full poly conversion will add a lot of harshness to the ride along with the better handling.

Before you commit to buying and installing poly, think about it. Why don't the oem's use it, and why don't higher end suspensions use it? Poly is great for engine & trans mounts ( I'm really happy with my Energy Suspension mounts), but not so much for bushings. You may be happier with rubber if you're on a budget.

Thanks, I bought a prothane kit. It was on sale at Amazon for 110 bucks - really nice deal in my eyes
