Ok, I need to restore My suspension bushings. Something I have overlooked before. Does anyone know of any kits that can be purchased or will I have to buy them all individually? Is there a urethane solution?

umm, i know there're some endlink bushings and sway bar mounts from energy suspension that fit w/ minor mods, i believe. i know picopop did up his bushings awhile ago and made a whole thread about it.

dont get poly...youll end up replacing them after they deform...you can get poly for sway bar and endlinks..other than that oem is the best...unless you go spherical..

I haven't had a problem with mine. They've been on there for about 2 years now. Some of the oem ones I put on in 06 needed to be replaced in less than a year. Car handles better on the 2 year old poly bushings than it did on the new oem. I would try to stick with prothane though, the ES seem a bit soft.

if you have the time, a set of vernier calipers
measure up the bushes and go to a parts place and go thru the parts book.
i couldnt find accord rear shock lower bushes and ended up getting ef civ bushes and cutting a few mm off each end of the sleeve
there will be a bush that fits or needs minimal mods to fit

The rear LCAs can be done with 2 civic rear UCA kits (8-307) and the inner sleeves from the Accord rear LCA kit (8-312). Fit is perfect, no cutting required. The only reason the inner sleeves need to be changed is that the accord bolts won't fit through the smaller civic inner sleeve holes.
