Hi guys, so i am putting in some kyb agx and eibach prokit into my 4th gen prelude, i did some search on honda-tech and found lil or no information on bushings, I am curious as to is it neccessary for me to change the bushings? if so I am puzzled by the difference of strut bushing compared to shock mount bushing, what is the difference?

these 2, please help!!!

 

the second link looks like a pic of radius rod bushings.

 

The first link is a generic bushing photo. The second is the bushings on top of the shock. I didn't replace mine and I wish I had. If you've got money, upgrade to the Tein pillowball mounts. If not, ES replacements will do fine

 

so i should replace the strut rod bushings for sure? and not the shock mount? they only carry the front, is it even neccessary to replace the rear?

 

i guess what i am tryin to ask is that what is the difference of strut rod bushing and shock mount bushing, I am upgrading my suspension setup with aftermarket struts and springs so I was wondering what do you guys recommend is the best bushings I should get to strengthen the performance of the aftermarket suspension setup, thanx

like i said, i think they are calling the radius rod bushings the strut rod bushings. that would also explain why they only have the front.

 

so which bushing do you guys recommend changing when upgrading my suspsension system?

Depends on budget and goals. If you have the money, and want your handling to be tip top, replace all the bushings you can with poly bushings. And make sure you grease them up before hand. Side note-you'll feel every little bump
