Default Spherical Suspension Bearings (bushing repacements)

I've seen several threads asking about these and there doesn't seem to be a supplier. I heard Progress used to make them but recent threads indicate they no longer do. I am going to have my machinist make a full set for an EG. Would there be any interest out there for an extra set or two?

Hey Lorenzo

If you are looking for the inner location on the front lower control arm....

I think for the other locations you are right, and they need to be custom made.

You would sure think there is a demand for these...... somewhere

Dooh, too slow again! Decartesfool beat me to it.

I would be interested in replacing most of the bushing with spherical bearings.

Are you planning on doing all of the components or just a few select ones?

I see that, my understanding is Progress was no longer making them. I think if they are that's great.

Good news, there is a place that sells Honda components with sphericals already installed. The name is Mardi Gras motorsports.

The bad news, they are in the UK and with our exchange rates the entire setup runs around $3000.
