Who has uprated all their suspension bushes in their R? My car is now on 43k miles and i has been driven HARD. I want to fit all new bushes and have been assured that the best kits come from america. I am also interested in changing the engine and gearbox bushes. Who has done this and what difference did it make on street/track car. I would assume it would tighten up my car nicely.

What low priced little tricks does anyone have for the R as well such as roll bars and well i dont know what else without changing the dampers (dont have the money right now) as I want everything to be done and ready for when ther coilovers go on...

Also what about camber adjustment etc

Phew... cheers guys.

If you have some money to spend.

If you want to try a cheap method.

I have the Energy Suspension "Motor Mount Inserts-(3 Torque Mount Positions)" on my car and think that upgrade is suitable for my use.
I also have the "Manual Transmission Shifter Stanbilizer Bushing Set" and enjoy that.

Install a 21mm front Honda sway bar (EG Si or a older 'low trim model' Integra) to help remove some of the push from the car...
or install a larger rear sway bar (23, 26, 28)

Also try adjusting your toe settings closer to zero and see how you like the feel.

This is my next step

 

I have the ES Motor mounts and all the bushes that will fit the ITR going on while the engine is being built.

I already have the B&M shifter bushings and they are well worth the price, the B&M is solid aluminium with an offset hole so you can adjust the position of the levert back and forth.

Hey Rich I keep meaning to pm you on honda-r about this as you seem to know which ones i need. Have you fitted them yet?

 

not yet but hoping they will go on while the engine is out, I will report back with any that don't fit the UK model (if any), I can then make up a list of part numbers of what fits and the extra Powerflex ones that would be needed to complete the job (hopefully very few as their prices are a ripoff) I have the Powerflex diagram and have painted in the ones I have bought but will check that all fit before advising others which are OK)
