Hardrace ???

[Daniel_Ek9]

I am getting my EK9 ready for the nct and I want to do the bushings on it..I have been doing my research and I am thinking of going for hardrace..
Hardrace Suspension Bushing Kit 96-00 Civic Type EK9: eBay Motors (item 370273631217 end time Jun-08-10 12:53:06 PDT)

I would like feed back on how easy this kit is to install and also how they feel after installation.. I have read a few threads and I read that not to use the rear trailing arm bushing in this kit..

Also I am looking for hardrace droplinks but cant find them..And also the bushings for the anti-rollbars or are they included in the hardrace suspension set above..

Thanks for any help

Hardrace set doesnt include bushing for ARB. (or at least mine didnt)

Includes it for almost everything else tho, Camber arms , RTA's, Front Arms, Toe arm's, etc, i have the set on my EK (getting the front arms put in on saturday) but overall makes the car feel alot "tighter" and you get more precise turn-in i noticed, ill let you know how much of a difference the front arms make ontop of the rest of it !!

I used the RTA Bush....... No issues at all as of yet ??
However maybe get energy bushes for the RTA as they are Poly not Hardened rubber so would be even harder, Maybe thats why people dont use the Hardrace ones?

can anyone shed any light on this??

I got mine fitted at DMS in kent as they did the kit for £500 supplied and fitted last year, (then add VAT ontop)

As it seemed like far to bigger job for me to tackle on my drive over a 2 day period!

Some persons have said that the HArdrace RTA bushings do not allow the trailing arms to work through multiple angles as they are designed to do. I've installed mine along with the entire kit and the car handles very well.first thing u will notice is that the car feels tighter.

Well that is the feeling I want.. WAnt it to feel tighter.. But does anyone know where I can get the droplinks and arb bushings? Also been looking at their camber adjusters.. Wounder are they any good?

Cant help you on camber, as for ARB bushing ... id go for energy or something poly.

And for drolinks, just dont get Blox ones...... mines were shot within 6 months! had some whitelines on for a while now and they are absolutely fine, they were second hand aswell!!

get OEM honda RTA bushes and drop links, they are best! I have tried energy poly RTA bushes and ASR spherical drop links and they were awful!

for best result get Honda drop links and bushing lad it is actually cheaper in the long run will out last most other brands but i have yet to see rosejointed parts wear out
