The suspension doesn't react the same with the poly bushings, and in some cases, I don't think it is a great thing. I took them out of my daily driver because the very little help it does give, isn't worth all the ride quality loss.

do you need to re-do the allignment when you replace all the bushings?

yea you should do an alignment after install because most cases you have to take the suspension pieces off.

how are alignments done in an 95 integra? I didn't see many adjustable parts. Also, if I remove and disasemble all suspension parts, once re-assembled will I be able to drive the car to the suspension shop to get the alignment? or will it be all over the road?

You could drive it to get an alignment; just be careful. I drove 45 minutes to get my alignment done after the brushing swap. Depending on how bad your alignment is; your car would want to jump all over the place.

Just to add an update on my bushing install:
I'ts been about a month and they still seem to be going strong. They definitely absorb more of the road than 12-year old rubber. When I make sharp turns there is virtually no body roll. Awesome, I'm lovin' it still.

thanks, glad to hear that it's a good upgrade

Does anyone have any long term updates for this?

Thread is super old. "**** sucks" is the popular long term vote. Along with "I'll never do that again".

back from the dead..

a little over a year on my master set... I still love it.

I have some squeaks but they are the same squeaks it had before the swap so I think I need to change my rear camber and compensator bushings.

I have the graphite set and they will squeak and bind if you don't use the lube. I missed the front most bushing on the upper control arm on the passenger side when I first installed them, a month later it was squeaking like a bitch!

got about 2 months on the rta bushings and they ride like a skateboard. lots of road noise. car handles wonderfully with a bit of over steer. but when they do fail I will be switching to hardrace. maybe sooner... depends if I get some extra cash for a rear disk swap, then it will be sooner than their death.

handling is predictable and stable imo
