RE: Energy Hyperflex Suspension Kit
I have a couple of questions. Is it cheaper to buy the master kit than buying the individual packages? I think I wanted more or less all the bushings except for the end links for the swaybar as my car does not have swaybars. If I buy all of them separately except for the swaybar bushings would I end up paying the same amount? I haven't found a site that lists the prices for all of them... if someone can point me to one I'd appreciate it.
Second question... I asked this in another thread but here goes. Instead of burning the bushings on the LCA, can you use a hacksaw and cut up the bushing into pieces to relieve the outward force it exerts on the metal sleeve? Then pound the sleeve out with a socket?
I don't have a torch and I'd rather not burn anything... smoke, dirty, etc.

you could try hacking up the bushings but they are faiirly resilient to cutting and it would be really hard to get a hacksaw close enough to do some damage. I used a lot of angry brute force to get the bushings out of my truck when i did the full prothane install. i was considering getting a shop to do it, but they quoted me 5 hours for each side of the front suspension, let alone the remaining bushings. so save yourself the money and try it yourself. if you get stuck bring the piece and new bushing to a shop to get them to press-fit it in.

RE: Energy Hyperflex Suspension Kit
i went to a certified honda place for an estimate.
I told them, mount and balance my rims and tires, front and rear camber kit, springs/shocks, bushings, and aligmnment.
They said $1200 + 50 for alignment.
And that they would do the springs/shocks and camberkits for free, and bushings would be 1200.
Also they said it would take 3 days
