The two different colors are essentially the same at a formula level. Some black components are graphite impregnated as a self-lubricating agent, but overall they are the same part. Graphite is not added to the red formula simply because it changes the color of the bushing.
Bushing hardness by color?
The Durometer (or hardness) of red and black bushings are the same for that position. The different colors do not indicate a higher or lower durometer.
Why buy red bushings?
Red or black bushings is almost entirely an aesthetic choice, there is no real functional difference between the two. Some who drive their vehicles especially hard (track, rally, etc.) sometimes use red bushings because it is easier to see any damage that the bushing might have suffered from extreme conditions.
Are there other bushing colors?
Energy Suspension used to have Yellow and Blue options but they stopped producing components in these colors a long time ago and they are no longer available on the market.
Octagon Style Boots
Energy Suspension Makes 2 versions of dust boots in this size. The -Round- version is by far the most common. The -Octagon- version is simply a slightly different shape on the outside offering a faceted Octagon shape instead of the smooth round shape. Both versions of these dust boots work the exact same, some people just like the appearance of one version over the other.

B Series Engine Shifter Bushings
You can safely ignore this option if your vehicle has the same engine in it as when it was made. This option is only for customers who have performed an engine swap.
Swapping a B series engine into a Honda or Acura that originally came with a D Series engine is very common. This bushing kit only includes the shifter bushings for a stock D Series engine. The bushing on the shift linkage at the transmission end is different on a B Series motor.
We will be happy to add the shifter bushing on this kit for a B Series version if needed.
