The Type S bushings already seem pretty firm. Much firmer than some of the soft rubber ones but not quite as firm as a polyurethane bushing. Energysuspension.com had some for Accords but none for CL's.

I replaced the bushings and end links on my 5.0 with polys and it made a *huge* difference in handling (the stock ones were well worn though). I greased them well when they went in but they still started squeaking. Teflon tape fixed that.

Anyone know if the rear replacement bushings included with the Comptech sways are firmer than stock?

I've heard that they are polyurethane and firmer than stock, but I'm not sure.
