Who has the best price on the Energy Suspension Bushing Kit for the 90-97 Miata? I looked around a bit, and here's what I found:

Full Kit
- Ebay: $201.93 + free shipping (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Energy-Suspension-Hyperflex-90-92-93-94-95-96-97-Miata_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3a54400c61QQitemZ 250521586785QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAc cessories)
- 949: $259 + free shipping (http://949racing.com/energysuspensionbushingsmiata.aspx)
- Flyin Miata: $275 + shipping (http://www.flyinmiata.com/smartsite/index.php?action=shoppingcart)

I don't really need the full kit, as I already have poly swaybar bushings in the front and no rear swaybar, and I'm not planning on removing the diff to replace those bushings. 949 sells the base kit without the swaybar/diff bushings, but it's only $20 cheaper than the full kit from eBay.

Does anyone know of any other places that may sell for a better price?

There were a couple sub $200 group buys on these when they were coming to market. You might want to post up a WTB on MT, see if anyone who picked up a set last year that hasn't used them is cash-strapped...

Do get the diff bushings though. You might not have immediate plans to install them now, but odds are you will later, you know when you shift 2-3 but 3rd is just not there. Comp diff bushings cleared that issue up for me.

You will never use the sway bushings. Those are a waste.

Great advice - I'll post a WTB ad on WTB. Thanks Ben.

That's a cool snippet of info there Ben about the 2nd to 3rd shift, I've always thought that a bit odd.
