ok i have a 94 civic H/B and it has 00 integra knuckled all the way around with goodridge ss brake lines.

my problem lies in the suspension bushing and i am referring to basically all the bushings are shot. The thing is, Every single bushing in the suspension was replaced about 5 years ago with energy red urethane bushings, well they didn't last.

As of right now the Front LCA bushings that go to the subframe are rotting away quickly and i am obviously not liking it, it is a dd and my steering is being compromised.

So my ? is... Does anyone have any recommendations on different brands... i am thinking about using prothane brand. I also remember using some "hardrace" brand "compliance" bushings on my b16a del sol and IIRC they were really good quality.

Anyone that can chime in and give me some ideas will be appreciated! TIA

hardrace. i'm not a big fan of poly.

have you used their bushings? i see they sell what look like beefed up oem style press in bushings, but i hate pressing bushings in but will do them if i have to to get away from the crappy energy branded ones.

OEM or Hardrace. Hard rubber over poly everyday. I have a set of their motor/torque mounts.

Would compliance bushing/mount assemblies made by hardrace reduce wheel hop any? my h22 civic enjoys wheel hopping sometimes.


BTW, with the lca bushing beat down the way they are, when i enter a turn, dead on at 50% of the way thru the turn the car wants to pitch out and act funny, upon inspection the energy LCA inners are trashed, which produce a horrible creaking sound when they scoot around

Hardrace hands down....Poly wears out fast and the deform quickly.
What do you mean the car wants to pitch out?
The rear of the car?

Just what kind of driving are you doing?
Street? track?

severe street driving, some circuit (road atl), and drag strip. its a multi use hb, it is my dd and is a h22 powered civic. I am not building it for any particular style of driving..in other word it gets its *** beat daily and goes racin'! lol.


My problem is whenever i enter a corner everything is ok until i hit the apex, the *** end wants to come out from under me...which i catch myself counter steering to keep it inline..''

I have a gsr 94 01 front sway bar that i put on at the same time it received gsr knuckles all the way around.. i have NO rear sway bar so i dont know if that would help.
