Default Suspension Bushing replacement...

Ok, it's been 3 days that I'm reading stuff on different forum about diffrent kind and/or brand of bushing. But most of the thread are very old stuff. The're might have been some evolution from the last 2-4 years... I end up with a few questions... So if you have the right answer, I'd'like to hear about it!

It's for autox and time attack...

1- Is there a difference between the OEM gsr and typeR bushing? If the're not, Can I put the bushing of a itr on a gsr? yes, no, yes but not all?(DC2 here)

2- Does Honda make a kit? Or we have to buy all bushings separetly, one by one...

3- What about energy suspension? I've read some really bad comment in the forum...

4- Finally, what about Hardrace bushing? Does anybody have tried this stuff? http://www.hardrace.com/

Thanks!

I have used the energy stuff before and had good results. The Hardrace is supposed to be a well made product and a little stiffer than the energy suspension bushings

I just switched to sphericals. That is the best way to go for a full track car. Special Projects and CBC engineering made ones for my EG

To answer #1 no the bushings are the same from all the Integra's

You can search here http://www.acuraoemparts.com/d...ch=no

# 2 No Honda does not make a kit.

Thats why HardRace is such a killer deal. I've had them for 2 years on my track car.

Bushing for what on the suspension? Ever bushing? just one?

note the rear lower control arm on a type-R are drastically different than non-R.

R's look like this: |_|
gsr looks like this: []

What are you trying to acomplish with your questions? OK, yes the lower control are bushing may be different but what suspension are you running if its for an ITR than you need the ones for the ITR lower arms. (the whole arm can be purchased here http://www.acuraoemparts.com/d...ch=no ) If you are running suspension that is for a non ITR then its mote as the rest of the bushing are the same.

wicked tuning make some arms with spherical bushing in it in very reasonable price. Some is cheaper than what it cost to replace the bushing by itself.

Wicked tuning products are also thoroughly tested and had a good R&D behind it as I myself did the R&D for their race line.

Info can be found on http://www.wickedtuning.com or my website at http://www.prima-racing.com
