Upgraded rear subftame bushings

[@thatblu_si]

Hello everyone, been a while since I've been on the forums. To make a long story short I need to replace my rear subframe, I sourced one from one of my parts guys that work at Honda but the catch is it doesn't come from the oem with bushings installed. Ideally if I'm going to have to install bushings I would like to upgrade and get some stiffer ones but there doesn't seem to be any out there. At least non that I can find, I'm wondering if anybody has even done this or if anybody even knows of a company who makes upgraded subframe bushings. Any well would be appreciated ?

I gota love my desperate thought process sometimes lol I'm leaving this thread up incase some poor individual goes through the same thing I did. After some extensive internet research I came to realize that these cars don't have rear subframe bushings! ? hope someone learns from my embarrassing desperate attempt for information lol but these spoon rigid collars are looking real nice ?

Update... again... : once again the si gets no love, spoon rigid collars are only for the fk8 ?

They definitely fit the fk7 hatchback.

That's believable since you share more parts with the type r, but not so much the FC's

From what I hear spoon rigid collars fit the Si

Perhaps energy suspension has a solution?

I'll have to give both of these options a look, thanks for the info!

Did you buy these yet? Did it make a difference?

No I haven't bought anything just yet, but I would imagine that the spoon collars would be a noticeable difference in subframe rigidity

I have the magic collar kit which came with both front and rear subframe collars. I only installed the front so far but the rear were included.

How are you liking it so far?

No issues, I think the main benefit is to align the subrame more accurately than with just using the alignment tool when putting the subframe back up. They went in smoothly I just followed the instructions for placement. Not sure how much of a difference it was than stock but it's the kind of mod I wanted to do for peace of mind while doing the clutch.
