I disagree.

I havent used many Mugen bushings but i think the difference is related to preference in drivablity and how you want you car to feel and not which is better or worse.

Personally i love the feel that the ES bushings have given my EG. Very tight, sturdy, but a downside harsher ride which people dont like. On the flipside the Mugen ones little softer, maybe not as tight or sturdy ride/feel but please the greater honda community as they more suited for a daily driver.

ES rear trailing arm bushings dont align properly, seen alot of graphs proving this

theyre other gear isnt too bad at all, just the trailing arms are something they dont build well, which is why Mugen and oem are the way to go

If you like to Shake,rattle n' roll then ES is for U!

Problem i see though, ES is far cheaper. You can get a full ES kit for less than $240+shipping but mugen is almost a grand

ES kit contains:
* Front control arm bushings
* Rear control arm bushings
* Front shock bushings,
* Front & Rear sway bar bushings
* Front & Rear coil spring insulators
* Rear trailing arm bushes
* Steering rack bushings,
* Transmission shifter stabilizer bushings (manuals)
* Rack & Pinion bushings
* Ball joint Boots
* Tie rod end boots.

According to the quote in OP mugen is:
* Mugen Rear Upper Control Arm Bushes $195
* Mugen Rear Compensator Arm Bushes $135
* Mugen Front Upper Control Arm Bushes $220
* Mugen Front Lower Control Arm Bushes $125
* Rear Trailing Arm bushes $195

Imo thats just too expensive... especially when people are saying the best part of mugen bushings is they're perfect for a daily driver. The Rear Upper control arm Bushes alone, are most of the cost of entire ES master kit!

Anyone had experience with Superpro bushings? how do they compare in ride and price to these two?
