Add me. Time to start messing with the rear suspension and my passenger side top hat is.... "Crusty," to say the least.

Alright guys, I'll contact him today to let him know we hit 5 people. Anyone else who wants in should make their desire known pretty quickly. This can be for fronts or rears. I chose to focus on rears for this group buy because that's a component that doesn't exist for our cars right now. But if you need fronts only or fronts and rears, this is for you, too.

Would you happen to be able to find out which bushing this uses? Almost looks similar in size to the front upper shock bushings for CB/CD's. I know the rears on the CB/CD's are a larger diameter than the fronts.

Reason I ask is because I happen to have a spare set of front upper shock bushings...

[Jarrett]

I don't know.

Here's the link to the product page for the 3rd gen, not that the bushing/isolator information is applicable.

Cheddas auto makes rear strut top hat bushings and they are in fact bigger

Finally I can comment! Thanks for starting feeler. I'm definetly interested in making these for you gentleman. I may try to make them in a two piece bolt together assembly to keep the material costs down. Last time I made them they were 70 a set just for the billet.

We're still interested right?

[Darkcloud]

I'm still interested, have cash waiting

Sounds good. I just have to source a rear top hat. Most of it is the same as the 3g accord. The only issue is bolt spacing so hopefully it's an easy go. I will start modeling it and get a quote on some materials. Preferably we do 15 sets and get atleast 8 people to group buy for the best cost.

As for bushings I will be keeping the Oem sizing to make it easy on customers to source parts. They are a 50mm bushing, and energy makes them.

I will try my best to keep the dollar figure arundel 150 a set plus probably 15 for shipping.

I was lucky enough to get all the dimensions off of a fellow member. We've devised a way to make them from a two piece design without any issue. Drawings to come soon.

Interesting... the rear top hats would be taller then oem? Oem ones are kind of tall already.

Heh, hi Jordain, it's Jason.

Hi!

Btw they have to be taller or you wont get any extra length out of the travel of shock. That is how you get a longer stroke. I designed it with another 32mm of stroke but I could do less.

Got the design worked out today. Threaded like a coil over but non adjustable. Here we go.

[Frijoles]

I'm also interested.

Any idea what sort of bushing would be used?
