    depends on what you need them for... if for the sway bar bushings, dont use anything that has slotted holes on the mounts... all the sway bar busshings from ES have that and ive seen a few that have slid around even when tightened down... i do NOT reccomend using the metal piece that comes with the bushings... im working on custom building a set of holders that dont have slotted holes so i have no worries of suspension geometry being thrown off at al or anything else moving....

    just a word of warning on these... and by the way... use the search function, weve already discussed this on the new board here and the old one... autozone... go for em if ya want... i wouldnt...

      ^ I second that. I have the ES sway bar bushings on the front of the Festiva. Being the dummy that I am, I used the brackets that come with the bushings. I didn't even think about the fact that they were only designed to hold a bar which places only a vertical load on them. Was I (and the girlfriend) ever surprised when I slammed on the brakes one day, heard the tire hit the inner fender, and had the car pull into the other lane.
