Prothane bushing will be used.

Anyone interested im getting them fabbed up over the next 2 months in hope to have a group buy by the end of Fall

Price is up in the air at the moment hoping to be prototypeing in 2months and have a real good idea on price wise..

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

it sounds good to me, but before I show any interest, it would be good to see a genera, rough price. It would be great, but for me, there's a ton of other things I need to do first.

I would be interested as well, especially since my right rear control arm needs to be replaced eventually. A general price guess would be nice though...

Like to see price and build quality first. I also like Energy Suspension bushings over Prothane. At least for inserts, the prothane is too stiff for the inserts, maybe they use a different compound for bushings.

Smooth idle? We don't need no stinking smooth idle.

the idea on bushings is stiff as possible u dont want flex side to siude u want them to forced the bushings to move the suspension up and down that is why delrin bushigns are used 100% no flex only low friction movement...


the price shouldn't be that high im thinking under 1000$ for complete front and rear suspension with bushings ready to go and powder coated...

ill be working on getting them cheap as possible without sacrificing quality...

the builder will be jason who used to run fabrication at phat ridz he builds the amazing looking headers and intake manifols for them he since has left and now runs fast fabrications byhimself hes a good guy and im working with him to get adjustability into these parts also...

cool.. just another thought (as I also asked dino in one of his posts for control arms).. any way you could make it to be a replace-able ball joints?? cuz its just too damn expensive to have to buy new control arms just for new ball joints.

I was working on an older model prelude.. and damn.. I was impressed to see how simple it was to replace just the balljoin by itself that costs only 50 dollars..

its just something to think about.

would it be possible to buy parts individually? i want a rear sway bar but i gotta replace the arms and junk first... i'm assuming you'd only be making the higher model parts an not RS ones anyways, right?
