Spherical bushings kit?
Hello.
Is there anybody who are using them? Are they ok for daily use?
I installed full set of spherical bushing on my civic EG but i am hesitating about front and rear lower shock bushings. Is it a good idea to leave them with stock rubber bushings to make the car a little softer on the high speed bumps or this won't affect the harshness?

i was saying a sepherical bushing kit will be a very harsh ride and in my opinon overkill for a daily driving platform , but most guys setups on this forum are very harsh so you might as well just go for it if you want them.
I've been running with full poly bushning kit but the car became very noisy and harsher than the rubber bushings with stock eg6 shocks especially on high speed bumps. Shock's top and bottom poly mounts are very stiff. May be the thin tyres helped a lot. They are 205/40/17.
If i am using softer shocks or shocks designed to work with stiffer bushings i don't think that it will be harsh. If there is no shock i don't think that the car will be harsh, because there won't be anything to block free suspension movement.
I allready have coilovers with spherical top mounts.
If it came down to it, I would run rubber bushings and stiffer springs/dampers rather than spherical bearings and softer springs/dampers. If this is a street car there's going to be much less cost and maintenance with a hard rubber bushing set over a spherical set if you're not looking to overhaul or inspect the car annually.

When I ordered replacement spherical bushings for my Eg Civic, it was recommended that the shock mount bushes retain the oem / hard rubber bushes.
I bought my sphericals through Kiwi at Special Projects Motorsport. I still have the installation instructions that went into a bit more detail...I'll have a look for it next time I get a chance.
