Just want to get some advice from anyone who's had to replace one of these before. I can either go for a lower arm as you can't buy the OEM bush on it's own which is going to cost me £450 from Honda, this is also on back order from Honda and they have no idea when they will be getting them. I have also seen these on Funkypower, has anyone seen these or used these aftermarket Bush replacements before.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I used the ES type in mine and had no issues. Hardest bit was getting old ones out

Try the super pro ones from eight speed.

I just used the cheaper ES bushes from Funky, best mod I've done for the price. Steering more responsive and generally steering seems smoother and rides bumps and potholes much better. Nothing negative to say about them at all.

That's what I used too although apparently the super pro type are better

Depends on your budget.

I have changed all suspension bushings on my car with the Energy suspension kit and it totally transforms the car's corning capability. It feels much sharper entering bends with good feed back. I would recommend them!

See the "how to" section for more details. :)
