when i bought my prelude, it needed bushes, and badly
so i went to honda, long story short, for the back alone costed 1600 euros, and because you had to buy the arms aswell (bushes dont come separate) this actually put me off the car
but a mate of mine said you would get them off the internet for cheap
so a few months ago, i bought my first computer and searched
i found a company in the usa called ENERGYSUSPENSIONPARTS.COM
and saw they do bushing kits for most cars, including mine
so i purchased a kit and had to buy rear trailing arm bushes separate
the whole lot including shipping was 180 euros, ( not bad )
last week my car went to the garage to have them fitted
it took a week to fit them and only because my brother is an apprentice there and the owner didnt want to screw me with the price
so he said the lads can tip away with it when yhey have nothing to do
over all it would take 2 full days to install everything
everything was changed on the car, and i mean everywhere theres a rubber bushing was replaced ( you do get alot of bushes in the kit)
VERY IMPRESSED
the differance it made to the car is brillant
i have balled tyres
i took off the strut bar ( they had to take off the shocks)
the tracking isnt done (told them i need new tyres so theres no need)
the roads are wet
and i cannot, for the love of me get the car to slide
with these bushes i can put down the power of the car in any bend
and she just grips
they are a polyurethane bush and are gaurenteed for 5 years
even if they last half of that i will be happy
so fellas,
if your finding bushes for your car expensive or hard to get,
energysuspensionparts.com should sort you out
people with new cars this shouldnt apply to you
but anyone with an old car like myself that want the handeling of a new car, this is a cheap way to go about it
example
honda were charging 1600 euros for the back alone not fitted
i now have the whole car done and fitted for 500 euros
and there a better bushing than the normal
