haha I'm very surprised they actually done it reasonably quick!

I did think that I'm just struggling to find it!

Took the Prelude out for a quick spin today, soooooooo much better than the TT, even if it is broken :lol:

So, having spoken to Maz at hond-r he informed me my mechanic was talking nonsense about the 4th gen polybush kit not fitting! He said I need to keep the 5th gen kit I got for the SH model and then get a 4th gen and we can basically combined the 2 kits together and therfore won't need to order any separate bushes.

... thought I had the 4th aswell as 5th gen kit, turns out I sold the 4th gen one.. So with that in mind if anyone is selling one please let me know!

He also suggested replacing all the ball joints, drop links etc whilst doing this so I never need to really worry about it all again..

Rough estimate of around £1100 + the cost of the 4th gen kit. Whilst this is a huge outlay I think it will most certainly be worth it!

Can't wait to sell the TT and get the lude back on the road :(

Haha anyone who told me otherwise is well within their right to say I told you so.

So frustrating!

Should have just gone to hond-r straight away, although having said that I wasn't aware of them to be honest! :(

It's difficult being stuck in the middle being told two different things. Your mechanic made out he'd tried them and was positive they didn't fit. How can you argue with that?

Exactly!

However at least I've got to the bottom of it now and can see light at the end of the tunnel :D
