NO... you don't want PROTHANE... YOU WANT ENERGY SUSPENSION. RRE's site even tells you PROTHANE is like "boing" stiff. Get energy, it's less harsh of a ride. I have Energy and I like them really well. You'll have to get used to the new sound of the bushings though... it's a change to say the least.

From RRE's Website (link above)
Energy Suspension Bushing Kits - These urethane bushings are stiffer than stock rubber bushings. They significantly reduce wheel hop and alignment changes under cornering stresses. While they can be quite affordable to buy, be careful what you wish for. They can be a major pain to install. They often require pressing or heating with a torch to remove the original bushings. Some of the bushings can be very difficult to get to.
Prothane Bushing Kits - Here is an alternative to Energy Suspension kits. The bushings are red in color and stiffer than Energy stuff. Well you ask, how stiff? Rock hard stiff. Boing !!! The full kit costs a little more than Energy but you get more bushings than Energy. These are split bushing in design and a lot easier to install than Energy's one piece design.
Dont let either of us tell you what you want, make up your own mind. The major factors are cost, harshness, and ease of install.

Summit Racing is the cheapest place I could find the Master Bushing set. That is where I got mine... only 105 bucks! Not too shabby. And shipping is very reasonable.
