Just buy S13 or R32 bushings. No need to customise specifically for the A31 Cefiro.  |

You can easily source the Energy Suspension polyurethane bushing kit for S13 from the USA. That way you'll get the back AND the front.
Make sure you get sufficient grease as they tend to squeak and make sure it's installed by a proper shop with the proper tools.
Oh, be ready for a stiffer/harsher ride according to some reviews. |

You can get the Energy Suspension Master bushing kit from Tuner Imports for about $1600 (do a search on the Car and Auto Classifieds forum).
I had mine installed a few months ago, and the ride is not as smooth, but it's by no means uncomfortable (and mine's a taxi..............no complaints yet ). Besides, not having to change bushing for the next few years gives one a certain piece of mind |
