Default Best Replacement bushings.

I am currently looking for either an OEM master kit, or a suitable replacement for the suspension bushings in my front end. (93 Civic EX coupe) I dont want the crappy Energy suspension ones and have only see prothane as a full kit. I figure after 22 years my originals have had it and want to replace them with somethign that wont degrade or fall apart on me. Its just a daily driver and I dont need racing bushings to make the ride any harsher than it needs to be. So does anyone have any suggestions on which way to head?

OEM is expensive for all the stuff

It seems people really like the Hardrace bushing

and less popular but have read nothing but good is Suja bushings

I am going to replace bushing on my teg and 93 hatch and I am planning on going with Hardrace

Well...if the stock ones lasted 22 years.....that kind of tells you which brand lasts a long time, doesn't it?

Just clock and install them properly. Tighten down the bolts with the weight of the car on them. Don't tighten bolts for most bushings in the air.

If you install them correctly, your car will be 44 years old till it needs new ones.

Hardrace/Suja/PIC is another good choice. Less pricey than OEM. As long as they're installed properly, they'll last a long time too.

Don't use polyurethane unless you just absolutely LOVE replacing bushings and want to do it every 1-2 years AND have skateboard-like ride quality

people who had hardrace's bushings have said that it doesn't ride any harsher than OEM.
