Wus good peeps,

Ok, i have a 93 eg hatch and my front lca bushings went bad and destroy my tires in like 2 months. anyways, i dont now what type of bushings i should get since Function 7 bushings are made by Energy suspension. here are my options:

Energy Suspension Master Kit
Hard race Master Kit
OEM bushings.

Im open to other suggestions. Thanks

 

hard race or OEM, now its just which is cheaper, both are good quality ****

 

I just found out that PIC/suja 1 make a master kit also. are these good? they are running for 225, hard race are running for 250 and energy suspension for 135. OEM is just expensive unless i only get the front LCA bushings and only those

 

im going to be trying some PIC bushings soon

 

I wouldn't get the complete bushing kit for the whole car. It is a huge amount of work to replace all the bushings on the whole car.

Get the oem replacement bushings for the control arms since they are the only thing that is worn out currently. Then if some other bushing wear out, get replacement OEM busings for those.

 

Think about it the car is over 15 years old, I would change all.

 

i replaced all my bushings recently iv'e replaced all mine with oem bushings. I would not go with poly. I've read a few posts about them not lasting long as oem bushings and deforming. Also ur either gonna half to do take the busihings off ur self or pay somebody to do most of them.

The hardrace i can't comment to much about them read a few posts. Haven't read anything about the longevity of them. Though with the hardrace ur gonna half to press in most of the bushings so that will cost u some more money.

When i repaced my front lower bushings only one of the bushings was bad all the other lower front bushings were fine. compensator and the other 3 on the front lca. also the rear bushings in the arm where u adjust the toe was also good.

My rear busings were messed up and it didn't affect my tires too much and they were bald to begin with. Did u get an alignment if u recently installed new suspension?

If you decide to use oem bushings or the hardrace make sure u either jackup the suspension then tighten ur bolts or have the car on the ground when u tighten the bolts. For pressing in and out ur bushings go to a machine shop and they will have no problems.

hondapartsnow.com or majestichonda.com for cheap oem bushings.

 

I agree, except that is a huge amount of time and effort.

I only was saying that if you aren't going to actually replace them all, it might not be worth spending the money to get the kit for the whole car.

 

hardrace is an excellent choice. If the budget allows, go ahead and get the master kit. I replaced all of my bushings a while back (got mugen bushings, hardrace was hard to find at the time). The hard rubber does an excellent job at tightening up the car without making it harsh/unforgiving.
