HI, i have read and search and is still confused about bushing. I am planning to replace all my suspension bushing on my 96 ek hatch and is looking for a bushing kit. I wanted to know if there there is any thing cheaper then mugen beside oem, and energy? Thank You

 

yes.. look at the hardrace kits on ebay... 160 for all your bushings, although you may be SOL on the front lower bushings...

 

I have try looking on ebay and Googling, and still haven't came close to a good decent deal, since i have a 2 year old son now I want to make the car ride smoothly as possible until I am able to afford a nice family car . Until then I also have another questions, "What bushing do you recommend I should REPLACE?". and if there is anything else you recommend for a better quality ride other stock please PLEASE TELL SO, Thank you nater_1 for responding to my question.

 

Nothing available on the market is going to have as good of a ride quality as the stock rubber bushings. Stiffer rubber such as Mugen and Hardrace, or polyurethane such as Energy Suspension or Prothane will make the ride marginally more harsh.

If money is tight, I'm curious as to why you want or need to buy a complete bushing kit? Why not just replace the handful of bushings that may be bad?

 

Killer:

Targa is correct, you should use the OEM honda bushings for the best ride quality. There is pretty much no way getting around that. I would inspect and replace your bushings as needed or as you replace/repair parts. For comfort, go OEM for sure. And new OEM bushings will give you very nice handling.. Just not that final 2%

 

Thank you guys! much for the help, I just wanted to see if I can upgrade anything better then oem quality. My bushing on my car are okay right now since i was planning to replace the back I was thinking I'll might as will replace all the other important ones. It will just save me the hassle in the future.

There isn't much out there than can exceed OEM Honda parts quality.

 

Thank you for replying to my post, much appreciated.
