so on a whim the other day i bought about $200 worth of powerflex bushings, and was planning on picking up the rest when i called around to get some qoutes for install, and wow, definately a pricey job. so im reconsidering just installing the ones that tend to need to be the most necessary/would make some difference handling wise. can i get some pointers? Im at 95,000mi so i think it would be a good time. also is it a bad idea to mix poly bushing with the stock rubber if i only do half? give me some pointers!

first I'd probably look into the control arm and strut bar bushings and replace the worn out bushings if they're cracked and stick with rubber ones since I'm assuming that the rubber ones will be softer than the poly bushings.

My car has about the same mileage, and last fall before parking it for the winter, I changed ALL bushings in the suspension with Powerflex and Mugen bushings. Powerflex (or Honda for that matter) doesn't make the rear bushing on the front lower arm. The ones that really needed to be changed were exactly these. They were slightly cracked on my car. Since Powerflex or Honda don't make these, they were changed for Mugen bushings from Kings Motorsport.

yeah those are on the list, never seen a good answer for why powerflex doesnt make these, kinda odd....

do you guys know what the difference is between the 25mm, 27.2, and 28.2 is?

would this also be a good time to replace the rear lower ball joints?
