UPDATE:

Picked the car up form Performance Autoworks last night, after Rich had taken care of a few issues, given it an MOT but more importantly......

..installed a full set of ENERGY SUSPENSION POLY BUSHES

The 70 mile drive home was like

Once again the attention to detail from these guys shows and I promise I'm not exaggerating AT ALL when I say that the Prelude drives like a new car. Everything is tight and responsive, the feel and feedback is much improved, the cornering is flat and the grip is even better.
For the record I think a lot of scraremongering takes place regarding this mod, as I dont find the ride too harsh at all, in fact a less-expected side effect was that despite everything I've said above, the car is actually MORE comfortable - the suspension is able to do its job properly I guess, and I'm on Koni Yellows and Tanabe GF210's, the Konis are on pretty much the stiffest setting.
The ride reminds me of a friends S2k a little actually - stiff but very well damped so not uncomfortable.

Also, before anyone says yeah but you've changed worn old rubber for shiny new poly, not so I'm afraid. Rich gave my car a serious going over only a couple of years ago and replaced a bunch of bushes then for OEM (I was poorer at the time ), so the car was already driving lovely when I dropped it off on Tuesday, this is just...better

So to sum up, if you're umming and ahhing about doing this like I did, don't - save up and get it done, you will not regret it. Yes, it's a fairly expensive job, but if you love the car that much (and I assume you do because you're here and not on http://www.saxowanga.com), it's very much worth it.
Oh and get PAW to do it (Used notes please Rich )

[NafemanNathan]

Nice job well done then ... Can't wait to get mine done.

Oh and thanks for the Saxo forum link

Roughly what did it cost u all in to get it polybushed mate? (Inc labour obviously)

Awesome car though by the way! Very nicely done

I agree the ride from polybushes isnt too harsh, they do squeek/chirp a bit though (especially the rear) on my car.

Sounds like they just need to be re-greased?

Nafe - np on the link! This looks like being one of the best mods I've done to the car, which I guess is understandable since it's one of the most thorough. Doowit!

bristol - I don't like to discuss prices just because every case is different, depending on what they find when they start pulling it apart. Fire PAW an email: info@performance-autoworks.co.uk and I'm sure they'll be happy to advise
Basically its a very labour intensive job, so think of a whole day, plus parts.
Oh and thanks for the + comments

Merlin - What Jay says I reckon?

[Merlin]

Not excessively, but my car doesnt have an interior. Thats maybe why I hear it more.

Hey Doodler,
I suppose you'll be wanting me to pitch in and say just how nice this particular example of 4th gen goodness is will you?



S'alright for a UK car I S'pose


Be even better with a nice PAW built H22a8 with fully worked head, cams, ecu etc etc ....you know it makes sense, just sell a few more of your cartoons



In all seriousness - this really is a very nice example of how well these cars stand the test of time when they are looked after as well as Ben has.
Known Ben and this car for many years and it just doesn't seem to age... botox I reckon

Top stuff matey and I'm glad you're enjoying the fresh suspension
