      I've got some very similar to that on my front compliance bushings. Not on the pivot bushings though. I like them. They make for a much more precise turn in and more stable transitions. And contrary to popular opinion they are not really very harsh on the street.

      I would worry about maintenance with them on a DD. My car is a track whore that doesn't see all that many miles.

      No, I'm using a custom pivot bushing. Its a harder material than poly, but when I had them put in nobody was making a metal bushing for those.

      Hardrace makes sealed units, virtually no maintenance

      Youre thinking of roll center adjusters. Buddy club doesnt make bushings for the EP3/DC5 only the older civics and integras.
