I finally have started to make bushings for the prelude/accord. I apologize it has taken so darn long. So the first official set will be the Front Lower Arm Bushings, or FLABs as I call them. I have 4 sets called for out of the first 5 I'm making from the guys from Preludepower.com.

These bushings are the ones that the Lower Arm rotates on, it connects to a subframe mount. The sets will be made out of UHMW poly, a very durable plastic, a material I use for all my bushings. Its quite allot stiffer than rubber, wears way slower, and is self lubricating.

The total price (both sides including new sleeves) is $50 shipped.

The photos below show how I built the bushings and what it looks like when its all installed. I can explain how to install them if anyone is really interested.

Thanks sir. I will start a second list, there are a few people now. Once I get the first set done, Im going to use the proceeds to start to get more materials to do another set and then rear radius arms (prelude). Once those are done, Il get the rest of the front LCA and UCA done.
