In one of the earlier mails, BSQ has mentioned that the following part 2312-ST7-Z00 endlink bushing collar (4 needed) CAN BE used from the existing sway bar.

Is it better to use the existing one or a get a new one? I think its costs around $18 for the bushing collars. Thanks


Complete list of things needed for the Type-R installation which can be ordered from acuraautomotiveparts. com

I think i used the existing ones. the total cost for parts came out to around $90.

 

What I am trying to find out is that is there any negative impact in using the existing one instead of ordering new ones?

Its around $120 if you order( including the 4 bushing collars) it from http://www.acuraautomotivepart...t.jsp

 

anybody knows this?

 

i would like to know too...the extras are pricey

 

Negitive effects: Lighter wallet... Knowing you used old collar bushings !, OHH NO!

Dude, they are metal collars that go in the bushings, what negitive effects can you really think of?
I mean....seriously....If it makes you feel better, I reused my old ones. My car is still in one piece. But I loose sleep every night knowing that I used an old collar, NIGHTMARES!

 

I would say to just use ur old ones, but do whatever you want to.

In the end, however, after you see the part, i bet you're gonna wish you didn't spend the money on that part. Guaranteed. hehe....

If you wanna check out some pics of the install n such go to my website linked in my sig... (its in the diy section) i have plenty of pics and decent instructions with the use of the bsq kit. bsq is a good guy... get teh reinforcement kit from him. he was very helpful in answering my questions.

I reused my old ones, not a problem yet.....and I don't anticipate any down the road.
