Prothane bushings

I installed them on my MR2. Here are my thoughts:

Pros:

Cheaper then OEM rubber

Doesn't deform as much as rubber

Better suspension feel

 

Cons:

Adds points in road racing/time trials

Doesn't last as long as rubber (so I am told by spec miata guys)

Will squeak if you don't grease them really well upon installation

 

I like them. The suspension parts feel good and I bought extra of the special grease you use. It is super sticky, think cold molasses, regular grease will not work. I have had them about 3 years, 10,000 miles and no squeaks. It feels a little more solid through hard turns, but no other real difference on the street. I also did engine mounts in it, now I have a lot of vibrations in the cabin, but better throttle response.
