Message	My original subframe has 250k+ miles on it. The bushings aren't leaking, but I have horrendous wheel hop. New springs and shocks are coming first, but ES bushings were in the future plans. All this recent talk has had me wondering if it's worth it. I'm interested in what you think of the ride and what other suspension work you have done. -Dan BlackholeZ VTC Solenoid Caps and Installation Procedure "Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse."
