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.
