Default most important bushings to replace on prelude suspension for better handling!!?????

ok i just want to know what people think about this..

i need to have my suspension to be more predictable..while i can't go with spherical bearings for cost and and time reasons..
i want to make myself delrin bushings to replace my old 100 000km bushign on my 97+ prelude


so i was thinking about the rear LCA bushing that holds it to the rear subframe
front LCA bushing and maybe front radius rod bushings to solid type ( like SH )

please tell me what you ahve done to your car?
and wich bushing do you think influence the most the suspension behavior...
thank you

the bushing between the upper control arm and the frame, and the end of the control rod ends (in the front sub frame).

tell me why u do think that the upper control arm bushings are important ?
cause the upper arm only controls the inclinason of the secondary hub adapter..and not directly the camber of the wheel..nah ?

though beeing there..

Your posts consistently baffle me. Must you insist on doing everthing the hard and/or backward way?

If you question me, check these out... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=114644 https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=122550 https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=118183 https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=118185 https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=116901 https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=115647 https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=114614

I'm sure you could make some kind of argument for each bushing. Personally, I think the upper arm bushings on a prelude have a LOT to do with camber. Then again, you might just be the first person to install one bushing at a time...

Everyone else would just do them all while it was apart.

hey wass ur point there..
are you checking on me or something ?

i just don't have a lto of money, and i try to learn and do stuff on my own instead of paying crazy amounts of money for everything that i would like to have on my car..

it's easy .. i have a definite budget for my car thiw winter..
and it's either i do a lto of things custom ..
or i just get 1 thing aftermarket and pay for it the high price
