Lude Generation

Hi,

1998 5th Gen.

Is there a kit out there I can buy which is just the entire/most of the front suspension bushings? I want to go through them all and replace but it's effort getting all the parts if they're sold individually

I was wondering if there's something like this: http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/16.18113 but Honda OEM parts and preferably in Europe.

how about this kit and its on sale http://www.strongflexuk.co.uk/honda/pre ... iHF5Upl8dU i have fitted full front and rear kits from this company on my other car would highly recommend them

Sorry I should've been clear, fifth gen, that page does have a kit for the fifth gen though.

That said, I kind of like remaining as stock as possible until I know why I want to change it. My prelude has had so many hands on it over the years each putting their own little modifications into it I think the old girl wants to get back to her roots!

that kit is listed as doing 5th gen also

Another question about poly bushes. I don't know anything of the quality of the poly bush kits out there for Preludes but I am very familiar with opinions on the ones for classic minis. The general consensus is that while they do stiffen the car up they don't "fatigue" as you would expect a normal set of rubber bushes would, giving you time to feel them on their way out but instead the bushes just split or break all of a sudden..

Since it's the same material, isn't that true for these poly kits?

febest or adl blueprint should have all the oem bushes you need but dont have full kits the way es/strongflex have.

there have been no reports of poly bushes splitting on ludes that i know of.....

No reports of any polybushes failing on preludes.
They will be slightly stiffer but also no reports of it making the car crashy/harsh.

There is no complete energysuspension kit for a 5th gen - you can buy a 4th gen kit but need to then pick up a couple of stand-alone bushes - info in the wiki here
