polyurethane replacement bushings to minimize deflection.<br />

These SCCA & NHRA legal components respond instantly<br />

to driver input and maintain suspension geometry under<br />

load, making them the ideal choice for demanding drag and<br />

road racing use. Another set of cost effective and excellent<br />

upgrades from Progress Technology were their front and<br />

rear lower control arm bearings. These are zero-deflection<br />

control arm solid bushings that are popular for racing and<br />

hot street applications. The all-metal pivot bushings replace<br />

soft OEM rubber parts with spherical bearings. These<br />

bushings are machined for direct replacement fit with no<br />

machining required for installation.<br />

The balance of the suspension rubber was replaced by<br />

the Energy Suspension Hyper-Flex Master Set bushings, for<br />

the 1988-91 Civic/CRX. Energy suspension offers patented<br />

front-to-rear coverage for most import and domestic<br />

vehicles, with the largest product line in the industry. The<br />

kit even has a shifter bushing set, which gave an amazing<br />

positive feel to the Skunk2 short shifter mechanism used<br />

in the Bisimoto Wagon. Honestly, if you plan on modifying,<br />

restoring an old car like we are, or even building a car from<br />

scratch, the Hyperflex system is highly recommended.<br />

Next issue, we will cover the custom Bisimoto Fighter<br />

special wheels, Toyo tires and some low boost dyno sessions<br />

with the new Bisimoto Engineering Level 3.6 camshaft!<br />
