OEM spec parts

Post by **ek9sid** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 9:44 am

Hi guys.

My OCDness is kicking in with the prelude and I really want to replace everything - steering and suspension wise (front and rear hubs, front and rear wishbones etc). Been having a look around and there's some parts which I'm struggling to find.

Just wondering where you guys (and gals) get your parts from - apart from Honda.

Thanks in advance.

It depends what you want. The only one-stop-shop is Honda themselves. Post up the parts you need and people will tell you where the best place to get them is.

Very good point. I'll compile a list today and post it up

Scott@H-Tune can get good prices on OEM Honda bits and bobs, especially if bought in bulk. That's generally seals and things, but worth asking him about larger cast and pressed items.

For knuckles and the like I think you would only be able to get them from Honda. I think the best thing to do would be get 2nd hand knuckles and refurbish them with Honda OEM or decent quality 3rd party parts.

Yeah, I was hoping to avoid that by getting new parts but if needs be then I'll go down that route

Thanks for your help, as ever, Merlin

Some of those parts you've shown are sub-assemblies of the main parts you've listed (e.g. 6 includes 8 anyway etc.)

Do you really need all those parts?
Rear ARB drop-links (16) fair enough - try ebay or langdon4x4 on here for those btw
but things like the rear Hubs, (9/10) Are the bearings really knackered on yours?
