    Do you pick up vibrations with the ES kit? How's the handling? Any difference?

      yeah, handling is a bit better, (but my old bushes were pretty badly worn, so it's hard to say if it is the ES bushes or just because they are *new*)

      but i have not done my power steering rack yet, so i expect that will make a more noticable difference...

      felix said he felt the steering was sharper...

      we are both going to do our lower control arm bushes too,

      i have done my upper control arm bushes, and even that was noticably different to stock...

        alot of WD40 + large hammer work fine for any upper control arm link or the tie rod end. Wear ear protection !

        But , a handy trick for the lower knuckle is to take wheel off , loosen teh lower castle nut , have car on a stand and lightly jack up the arm from underneath. Then place a breaker bar end/small bar in the gap above the lower control arm , next to the ball joint itself. Drop the jack and the force of the suspension should crack the knuckle in one or two go's
