Default Hardrace Bushings???

I have heard of a few people having Hardrace spherical bushings on here but have any of you had any experience with their hard rubber bushings? They look to be very good quality and much cheaper then Mugen.

Here is the link: http://www.hardrace.com/acura/...e.php

I have their full hard rubber bushing set, motor mounts, and a few sphericals and all work fine. They have been on the car for a year. The car is track-only, garaged during winter, and driven to and from events.

Also, everything fit perfectly and the quality seems to be high.

Thanks for the input.

how do you know they are "much cheaper than mugen"?

If you can find some in the states and they really are cheaper, its worth a try. I have successfully talked to the owner in taiwan twice, and after those 2 times, never got a reply back, but he didn't even want to sell me anything because he said the shipping was as much as the parts. . . (rear TA and rear links)

I have found them in the states. And trust me they are much cheaper. The hard rubber complete bushing kit with rear trailing arm bushing is about $180 shipped.

I know you would. And I will as soon as I get a set myself. I am sorry. There is a very limited number of these in the U.S. I am calling them on Monday, so I will repost on Tuesday.

Me too. I am getting very frustrated. I will let you guys know when I get ahold of their US retailer. They are not very good at communicating either.

unless you're going to buy a large amount of parts from them they're not going to deal with you. I was ready to spend a couple grand on some spherical TA bearings, rear UCAs and toe adjusters a while back. With the cost of shipping it would have still been a good deal, but only if I was going to buy a lot and resell them. Comunication wasn't bad, but the owner didn't want to take my CC and I wasn't about to go through the hoops of a bank transfer just or this so I gave up. He later decided that paying with CC was ok, but by then I'd lost interest.

You need to find a local retailer who is willing to stock these parts, but I haven't heard of any besides "DOHC GARAGE" on ebay.

No. That would be too much of a steal. And I have never seen any Hard Race spherical bushings on ebay.
