What energy bushing kit should i get, make and model for 63t swap. Not too sure if i should look for galant, eclipse1g, 2g, or if it matters. I know my rear motor mount for the 4g64 is broken. don't know if that matters.

fuck energy

get the prothane kit for the 2g turbo eclipse.
sooo much better. replaces the two side mounts completely and stiffens the front and rear. you can get them on ebay for around 60 shipped.

if your rear is damaged the inserts will repair them. but its better to start with a non failed mount.

i have the energy inserts for the front and rear mounts and wish i would have gone with the full prothane./ keeps your motor locked in tight. no more missed shifts, kills wheel hop.

not only does the prothane replace more parts, but he compund they use is harder than the energy. so it yeilds better results right off the bat. even if you just installed the front and rear inserts

If your mounts aren't completely torn off the posts...
I like the energy inserts.
Sorry Stunr
I hate to contradict you.

I have the energy inserts and my rear mount was pretty bad.
95% reduction in hop.
(You'll only hop if you seriously can't drive)

AKA dump it from WAY too high.

But the ride/vibe in comparison to the full prothane kit is night and day.
Especially if you don't use b/s
(If you are putting in a 4g63... and you leave the b/s in... you need slapped anyhow.)

Remember there are other bushings in your suspension that can also be replaced with poly.
Which will not only help with hop, but handling, and feel.

Good place not to skimp.

also, the prothane kits cuts each bushing in half....correct? so you don't have to vice-shove the bushings through, like you do with the energy...and that's a pain in the ass

well....yeah it does. the driver and passenger mount are universal between the 5spd and auto. however, the front and rear mounts are different between the two. i'm still using my stock front auto mount, and therefore, it is still not "prothaned". i'm riding on 3 prothane mounts and a busted oem one
