Hi everyone, So a few weeks ago when replacing my front passenger side CV axle (yay for torn boots) I noticed that my rear LCA bushing was torn. I plan on replacing them when I also do my 105k mile maintenance since that is coming up quite soon. Does anyone have any experience with Energy Suspension vs Prothane for these bushings? From what I've read they seem to be very similar to each other, but the Energy ones are supposedly a slightly lower durometer (hardness). Just want to clarify this as this is my daily, but I'm not worried about a slight NVH increase, but if one is going to be less than the other I would like to know. Secondly, I want to clarify whether or not the front LCA front bushings are the same for the '05 LGT and the '08-'12 WRX and STI. I know that the rear bushings are the same, but I haven't been able to find much info on the front ones. My confusion is coming from looking at the compatibility list for these bushings, because Energy Suspension lists one kit for the '08-'10 WRX that is compatible with the Legacy and another for the '08-'12 WRX that isn't compatible with the Legacy. Knowing that the only variable here, given that the rear bushings are the same, is the front bushing, I went to Whiteline's website to confirm that the front bushings are different. This didn't seem to be the case there though, as the front bushings have listed compatibility for the Legacy and WRX/STI. Just looking for some input here as I really don't know what the truth is for this situation.
