hybrid90, any updates? I also live in the bay area and in need of changing the bushings. Would appreciate your experience.
BigSung - sorry dude, no updates yet cuz as you know, the weather’s been shitty and plus I live in an apartment so can’t really jack up the car… I do shit here and there at my uncle’s garage but haven’t gone through with the bushings cuz I have other shit I need to take car of with the suspension…
I’ll update this thread once I find a place or do it myself… 
Sounds good. Keep us updated.
to the guys whose cars didnt squeak, what color were your bushings? supposedly the black ones are graphite impregnated and are less prone to squeak.
I installed the kit two years ago. No squeaks, but it was a lot of work. You WILL need a press to press out the old bushings. Make sure your mechanic listens to you, I had a retard who beat the shit out of it with a hammer and used a blowtorch for over 30 mins screaming and cursing in the back of the shop. With a press it was out in no time. The dust covers are crap, and it makes the install time that much longer. Trust me, leave them alone. I put in a rear trailing - one - and didn’t touch the other one. It was a lot of work, nearly the whole Saturday, cleaning out the old bushing. People often talked about using a torch, but it isn’t really effective and you always have in the back of your mind “the fuel tank is inches a way from me…”. I’m actually about to install stock rear trailing arm bushings. I bought the tool for the job this time, but it’s for the slightly larger DC bushings. SO, in recap, they don’t squeak if you lube them correctly, it’s a lot of work to install them and you will need access to a press, and forget about the rear trailing arm bushings and the dust boots. Oh and I have the red bushings, not the black ones.
I’ve heard this too.
Which is why I got black way back when.
Not a huge deal, most of them will eventually be coming out anyway. 
i have the prothane bushings and they’re red. i think prothane only comes in red. i just used the grease that came with the bushings and no squeaks yet.
