That is why the car feels vague turning in, clunks over bumps, and no longer tracks the way a Prelude should. This Energy Suspension master kit replaces the bushings across the suspension with polyurethane, so the chassis tightens up and the car feels connected again. For years 5G owners had to adapt the 92-96 kit, but this is the one Energy built specifically for the 97-01 SH, so it drops in as a direct replacement with no improvising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a complete master set, not a single position. It does the front and rear control arms, the front strut rod, the front and rear coil spring isolators, the front and rear bump stops, the front and rear shock bushings, and the rear trailing arm bushings, all in one box. On a double-wishbone Prelude that was built around its handling, refreshing all of that polyurethane at once is the single biggest thing you can do to bring the chassis back. Energy's polyurethane also shrugs off the oil, salt, and grime that rot rubber, so once it is in, it stays tight for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis master set covers the suspension positions Energy makes for the 97-01 Prelude SH. Note what it is built around: this is a strut-rod, coil-isolator, bump-stop, and trailing-arm style kit, which is different from the sway-bar-and-shifter style master kits Energy builds for the Civic and Integra. It does not include sway bar bushings, end links, steering rack bushings, shifter bushings, or ball joint and tie rod boots, those are not part of this particular kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront and rear control arm bushings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront strut rod bushings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront and rear coil spring isolators\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront and rear bump stops\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront and rear shock bushings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear trailing arm bushings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComplete master bushing kit, polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy Suspension Hyper-Flex polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront and rear suspension, both sides\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 year \/ 750,000 mile, per manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.75rem;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYears\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1997-2001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrelude\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType SH only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is for the Type SH only. Energy is specific about that: the SH uses different radius rod and inner control arm bushings than the base Prelude, so this master kit is built for the SH and is not listed for the base car. If you have a base Prelude, do not assume this drops in. Confirm your model before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to know before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, the honest tradeoff, and a full poly kit makes it real. Going to polyurethane across the suspension firms the car up noticeably. You will feel and hear more of the road than you did on fresh rubber, because poly transmits more than the soft factory bushings were designed to. For a driver's Prelude this is the point, the chassis feels tighter and more planted. If you want a plush, isolated ride, a full poly kit is not the move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, this is a serious install, plan accordingly. This kit gets into the coil spring isolators, bump stops, and rear trailing arm bushings, which means real disassembly. Owners report it can run several hours per corner and that you will need a press to do the bushings properly. This is not a quick afternoon job. If you are not set up for pressing bushings, factor in a shop, and either way grease every bushing thoroughly on install, because a dry poly bushing is what squeaks later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThird, since you are this deep into the suspension, it is the right time to handle anything else that is worn, shocks, ball joints, or the sway bar bushings and end links that this kit does not cover. On a 25-year-old Prelude you are rarely just replacing bushings, so doing the related wear items in the same pass saves you pulling it all apart twice. Do it right once and the SH chassis stays tight for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1997-2001 Honda Prelude \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"InstallGuide\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Energy Suspension","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45864326463522,"sku":"ENS-1618113R","price":437.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/5409382.JPG?v=1782757861","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/energy-suspension-97-01-prelude-sh-master-bushing-kit","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
