To my knowledge, no company sells these bushings in poly or a harder durometer, more durable alternative. I know this because my white Accord project has had every bushing replaced possible with poly. I had to settle for new OEM rubber on # 2 below, my original bushings on # 1 are fine, so I didn't do anything there. Went new OEM rubber for # 3.

1) Rear main trailing arm bushings. You have to buy the whole are new OEM to get a new bushing. No aftermarket support here.

2) Rear lower shock mount bushings, only new OEM rubber or one company makes a harder durometer version. A poly version would be nice.

3) I don't believe they make poly versions of the rear upper shock mount bushings either. I went new OEM rubber on those as well.

Poly versions of those would be sick...
Would make my upgrade to poly, totally complete...

I take no credit for this as it was Granite CB7's find but I'll post it here for reference.

I've always read that there weren't any aftermarket options for rear strut mount (or rear knuckle) bushings for our cars. And as far as rear trailing arm bushings, if you want OEM, Honda has you buy the entire rear trailing arm. Well, I wanted to let everyone know there's another option for us.

Hardrace makes many bushings for the 94-97 CD Accord, I think every single one of them would work on our cars, esp. the rear trailing arm and rear strut mount bushings, which are harder to find than all the others. In regards to the trailing arm and strut mount bushings, they offer them in hard rubber and also spherical too. The trailing arm bushing set goes for $80 and the rear strut mount bushings go for $49 (for the pair), both are the hard rubber version. I didn't ask how much the spherical versions were, but hard rubber is more than fine. Their hard rubber is 150% harder than OEM, and the memory of hard rubber is very good, these will last awhile, even w/ higher spring rates.

I just ordered the trailing arm and strut mount bushings b/c my Prothane Total Kit does just about every other bushing but these ones. Shipping was an additional $50, Hardrace is based in Taiwan, hence the higher shipping price. They do accept paypal too BTW

Thought I would let everyone know

There is also a method for getting rear lower shock mount poly bushings developed by lucid. Here is how he did it. Go down to where the pictures start.

STILL, a company designed and made poly bushing exactly like the OEM rubber would be great and I hope that they can be made. I would buy them in a heartbeat. TAS rules

one thing that many of us would really need is an engine rebuild kit.
Which would include gaskets, pistons, rings, etc...
and it would be nice to have different types, like OEM kits, performance kits, and etc.
Kinda like KMS engineering.

Engine rebuild kits are a possibility. I have collecting some info on a bunch of engine internals that I would like to add to our offering.

Poly bushings can be done with our current supplier but things like that take time so you won't see anything very soon

We have some HID kits but we need to update that stuff

I want to create our own strut tower bar that is a solid unit like a Carbing maybe even triangulated to the firewall. This will take some good R&D so not a fast item here either.

how cool would it be to have an intake like this?


later.

ESP tuning already has made a 3 point strut bar like carbing.

I think some anodized nice looking lower control arms to adjust toe and rear sub frame braces would be a good route.



Was always saddened no one made anything like this for the cb7 as it seems all popular hondas have some aftermarket support in this area. And they're nice to look at.

Check out megan racing. They've made them for the cb for quite awhile.

Oh and to TAS, a c-pillar bar and a H-brace would be two nice pieces that I haven't seen for cb7s...I know some integra c-pillar bars fit, but one that is specifically made for the cb7 would be nice.

Get ahold of some OEM replica fogs to sell too, like the DEPO ones, since those are even hard to find now.

What would also be good to add to that is rubber rings that go around them, Majestic doesn't have them anymore and all my local Honda places doesn't have them.
