They will tighten up the ride, as they do not offer the compliance of stock (the good side). Lubrication is more important with them than the OEM bushings - once the lubrication goes, it can definitely get noisey (the bad side). That's why those Prothanes in the Summit listing have the little tube of lube in the pic.

ES bushings come in red and black; the black tend to make less noise; those are the ones I have in my CRX. Not sure if Prothane has the same options or not.

Well in that case it's probably not a big deal. I mean I don't expect the lube to wear off that quickly and it wouldn't be too difficult to re-apply it anyway. That lube in the pic comes with the bushings, right? To be honest I'd rather get a completely new sway bar altogether but don't have many options with the 4-Matic, although the sway bar itself is fine. Car feels like a damn boat and it's annoying as hell.

Congrats on the S4 Phi! Should be lots of fun. Your C is looking great as usual.

phister

thanks trying to get a few things done by aug/sept for the Wekfest in Austin

Is the paint permanent? I think it looks great - always thought your car needed some color to it. Let's see how long you keep it this way, though.

phister

its a permanent translucent paint I did... I did 3 stages of the translucent paint and 3 stages of clear. So if I want to remove it it'll take some wet sanding to take it off.

Hey always trying to be a little different and try new things. It's like you and CRX kinda, once you have it the same for awhile you kinda wanna change a few things here and there to upgrade it or make it look different to keep the enjoyment of having it.

lepez

Phister, your 203 really stands out. by far the best modded I have ever seen. It looks so amazing...

keep it up !

tommy

That's kind of true, though I've only been through two sets of wheels in 15 years, though, and only because the SSR X's were hopelessly out of round.

Speaking of that, I have a new fire extinguisher to slap on - got an awesome bracket for my rollbar for it; have some new rollbar padding to put on, and will be installing a voltmeter in the glove box - crx's Odyssey small battery keeps draining for a reason that I can't figure out. Then have to redo my sunroof's headliner in alcantara, and the crx should be ready for the Niagara Falls meet in a month.

No, phister, we're not alike at all. Have some small updates on the Benz I'll be putting in my thread hopefully tonight.

johnand

I am digging the copper wheel paint Phi! Agree with Tommy, it was screaming for some color. Your friends have got some nice cars!
