Default Compliance Bushing front LCA any others compatible?

I've done a bit of research and it seems like you cant purchase these front LCA compliance bushings from honda. And from what i can tell a decent price for an aftermarket set is in the $200 range!!! Thats a bit rediculous considering I can pick up a set for any other honda off ebay for under $30. Are any of these interchangeable between the different honda models? Or hell for any car????

Between Honda models, absolutely not. Other cars, absolutely not.

Between S2000s, sure. Aftermarket S2K compliance bushings are also relatively new. You could probably get a low mileage set of front lower A-arms with healthy compliance bushing from the marketplace for less than the aftermarket bushing. With that said, I just had a set of Powerflex compliance bushings put in, and they're great (but expensive as you noted).

You could order the energy suspension bushings for the front which will give you all new bushings for the front for your 99$ iirc.

Thats what I did. Ordered the energy suspension kit. $110 I have to order the alignment bolts from Honda now. Theyre both rusted in. So the project continues....

Get yourself a sawzall, and tons of blades. That's probably the only way to get the siezed bushings out. Sometimes an air hammer will work to back the bolts out, but typically they need to be cut.

Thought about using an impact gun on it but I couldn't find a socket that fit. Measured it at just under an inch. Obviously it's metric, so I'm thinking 23mm?

Update: I found a 15/16 fits it pretty decent. Not too much play. Which comes equal to 23.8125mm. I'm kinda torn between 23 & 24. If its actually a 24, I'll just use the 15/16

So in this pic, bottom right corner. You removed bolt F, and you're attempting to remove collar E? E is what gets seized to the bushing.. sometimes so badly that no amount of penetrant or air tool can remove it; only a saw. I just had mine cut out last week.. air tools failed. Unsure of the size, but it has to be metric.

A blow torch would be better than cutting and potentially cutting and ruining the control arm IMHO
