I want to get my new bushings for my indy low's but i dont know which one to get. Can you guys recommend me good companies that make awesome bushings. Also, should i get soft, medium, or hard bushings? Can anyone tell me the differences between the soft, medium and hard bushings?

Thanks

Soft is soft, medium is in the middle, and hard is hard.
It's all personal preferance on what hardness you like, so skate around with the stock Indy bushings for a while to see what you like.

Really, you should chill out, you're doing what I did when I first started skateboarding, trying to get the best there is for the best price, and trying to get them in exactly the right sizes/hardness. You shouldn't worry about these, focus more on your skateboarding and as you gain experience and develop a preference, you'll know exactly what to get.

but really, he's not a gear whore yet...bushings are an inexpensive, super-effective way to upgrade the feeling of a skateboard. i mean, bushings for 2 trucks is what, $10? if it was me, i'd go for doh-doh bushings (you can pic 'em up at most any skateshop), get the white or the black...those are excellent on indy trucks

i ride yellow doh dohs, they are soft, because i like loose trucks, but harder than the stock indys. those just blow.

I like medium to hard bushings.. I have some old clouds, they are pretty good. It doesn't really matter what company really just what your preference is on hardness etc.

I use Powell mediums in all my trucks. If you really want to explore you can go this route.
