Energy Suspension Master Bushing Kit - 1994-2001 Acura Integra (DC2)
This is the do-it-all bushing kit for your DC2 Integra. Instead of replacing one worn bushing at a time, the Energy Suspension master set hits nearly every suspension and chassis bushing on your 94-01 Integra at once, all in polyurethane. On a DC2 or DB8 that's now 25-plus years old and still riding on its original rubber, this is how you take a car that's gone loose, vague, and rattly and bring that excellent double-wishbone suspension back to feeling tight and connected again. And it matters even more if you've got a built B18 or a K-swap under the hood, because worn factory bushings just can't hold up to the power you're putting down.
What Worn-Out Bushings Are Doing To Your Integra
Here's why an old Integra starts feeling tired. The factory rubber has spent decades cracking, sagging, and compressing, and once it does, your suspension starts moving in ways it shouldn't. That's what you feel as a car that wanders down the highway, clunks over bumps, and goes vague mid-corner as the geometry shifts around under load. Energy's Hyper-Flex polyurethane replaces all of it and locks your geometry back where it belongs. Turn-in gets sharp again, the car tracks straight under braking, and it holds an alignment far better than tired rubber ever could. Poly also shrugs off the oil and grime that wore out your originals, so this is the kind of job you do once and forget about.
Important: This Doesn't Fit The Type R
Read this before you order, because it's the thing people get wrong. This master kit fits the LS, GS, GS-R, RS, and Special Edition Integra, but it does not fit the Integra Type R. The Type R (B18C5) uses different suspension components, and Energy builds a separate kit for it. So if you've got a Type R, this is the wrong kit, reach out and we'll point you to the one that actually fits your car. Everybody else on a DC2 or DB8, you're good.
The Honest Tradeoff: Firmer, Not Softer
Be straight with yourself about the ride before you buy, because poly isn't a free upgrade. Polyurethane is firmer than rubber, so a full master kit makes the car noticeably tighter and a little buzzier than stock, you'll feel more of the road and hear more through the chassis. On a built DC2 or a weekend car you actually drive hard, that's exactly the point, it's the price of a chassis that finally feels connected. But if you're after a plush, quiet daily, a full poly master kit is more than you want. And here's the single most important install tip: use plenty of the included Formula 5 grease on every bushing when you put it in. That's the one thing that keeps poly quiet and heads off the squeak these are known for, and Energy recommends re-greasing every three to five years to keep them silent.
Plan For A Real Job
Set your expectations on the work too, because this isn't a bolt-on afternoon. Every bushing has to be pressed out and the new poly pressed in, and you're touching control arms, shocks, the rack, and more all around the car. On a car this age, the old rubber is often seized right into the shells, so expect to fight a few of them out with a press, and budget a serious weekend or a good chunk of shop time. It's a job, no way around that, but doing it all at once is way smarter than chasing one worn bushing at a time and pulling the same parts apart over and over.
One Note For The Full Rear
If you want the entire rear done in one shot, know that this master kit does not include the rear trailing arm bushings. Those are a separate Energy Suspension kit (16.7106), so grab them at the same time and you'll have the whole rear refreshed while you're already in there. And on color, red and black are the exact same polyurethane at the same hardness, so it's purely a look thing, the black is graphite-impregnated to be a touch more self-lubricating, while red is just the color. Pick whichever you like.

Note: Energy Suspension Hyper-Flex polyurethane master bushing kit for the 1994-2001 Acura Integra (DC2/ DB8), part numbers 16.18105R (red) and 16.18105G (black). Replaces nearly every worn factory rubber suspension and chassis bushing on the car at once with polyurethane to restore tight, precise handling, sharper turn-in, straighter tracking under braking, and better alignment retention, while resisting the oil and grime that wear out rubber. Includes Formula 5 grease. This kit fits the LS, GS, GS-R, RS, and Special Edition Integra; it does not fit the Integra Type R (B18C5), which uses a separate kit. Red and black are the same hardness (black is graphite-impregnated to be slightly more self-lubricating, red is a color choice). Polyurethane rides firmer and a bit buzzier than stock, so it suits a sporty or hard-driven car more than a plush daily; grease every bushing thoroughly on install and re-grease every three to five years. This is a press-in/press-out job covering the control arms, shocks, rack, and more, so plan for a full weekend or shop time. This master kit does not include the rear trailing arm bushings, which are a separate kit (16.7106). Backed by Energy's 7-year / 750,000-mile warranty (per manufacturer). Confirm your Integra is not a Type R before ordering. One master bushing kit per order.
