Who wants Prelude Solid Alum front radius arm bushings?
About 2 weeks ago I read a post asking would a solid radius arm bushing be better for 60ft times that stock rubber. So we posted what we were using until we replaced everyting with a traction control setup. These are for 4th gen. If enough 5th gen guys are interested we will first see if their the same if not get some made up.
Here is a picture: this is what we used for 2 years.

What we did was visit 3 local machine shops here in Denver to see if we could get a good price reproducing them. We got a quote for 10 sets. Each set is 4 aluminum replacement bushings. Price at this quantity is $75 + $5shipping per set.
If there are at least 10 of you interested we can use paypal or mail money order. I believe it will take 2 weeks to get these made - he will still need to order the alum stock. We will sit back and see where this ends up.

Are these solid aluminum, preventing any radius rod movement at all? Or do they have spherical bearings?
Will these allow caster adjustment?
If there are bearings, will there be any boots available to protect them from road dirt/dust?
If there are bearings, will they be replaceable?

No interest? I will contact the machinist and call it off.
The quote below - did you really think you could get all of that for $75?

Probably not, but I did want to know what one would be getting.
If they have no ability to deflect or adjust, they aren't useful on a street car.
Also, 4th and 5th gen radius rod bushings are the same.
