Part #: 380 464 DV

Overview

The Cusco Pillowball Rear Control Arm Bushings are designed to enhance the handling and stability of your Honda S2000, whether you're on the street or at the track. These high-performance bushings replace the factory rubber components with precision-engineered pillow balls, providing a more direct and responsive connection between your suspension and chassis. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved steering response, cornering accuracy, and straight-line stability, these bushings are a perfect upgrade for your vehicle's suspension system.

Constructed with racing-grade materials, the Cusco pillowball bushings help reduce alignment changes caused by suspension flex and wear over time. They are especially beneficial for spirited driving, autocross, or track days, where precise handling is critical. By minimizing deflection and eliminating compression in the suspension joints, you'll experience a more predictable and confident driving experience, with enhanced feedback from the road.

Key Features

The Cusco Pillowball Rear Control Arm Bushings incorporate several advanced features to maximize performance and durability:

• High-precision pillow balls made from durable, race-quality materials for maximum strength and longevity.
• Reduces alignment shifts caused by suspension load changes, maintaining optimal handling characteristics.
• Designed to improve steering response and cornering precision, especially during aggressive driving.
• Uses rubber boots to protect the pillow balls from dirt, debris, and moisture, ensuring consistent performance over time.
• Engineered with a focus on minimal deflection, allowing the suspension to perform as close to the original intent as possible.
• Constructed with high-quality steel and precision machining for a perfect fit and long-lasting performance.
• Suitable for racing, autocross, or street use where enhanced suspension feedback is desired.

Construction & Design

The Cusco pillowball bushings feature a robust design with high-precision pillow balls housed within a durable steel casing. The inclusion of rubber boots helps prevent dirt ingress, maintaining smooth operation and reducing wear. These bushings are engineered to replace the factory rubber units, offering a stiffer, more responsive connection that translates to sharper handling and improved steering feel. The use of high-quality materials and meticulous manufacturing processes ensures that these bushings can withstand the rigors of aggressive driving while maintaining their performance characteristics over time.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the stock rubber bushings with Cusco pillowballs, you'll notice a significant improvement in steering response and cornering stability. The increased rigidity provides more precise feedback from the suspension, allowing you to better feel the road and make more confident steering inputs. While these bushings do not produce additional noise, the increased stiffness may result in a slightly firmer ride compared to the stock setup, which is typical for performance suspension components.

Installation & Fitment

The Cusco Pillowball Rear Control Arm Bushings are designed as direct bolt-on replacements for the factory units on Honda S2000 AP1 and AP2 models. Installation typically requires basic hand tools and may involve removing the rear control arms from the vehicle. No cutting, drilling, or complex modifications are necessary, making this upgrade straightforward for experienced enthusiasts or professional installers. Proper alignment after installation is recommended to ensure optimal handling performance.

• Easy bolt-on installation with standard hand tools.
• No cutting or drilling required.
• Requires basic suspension knowledge for proper installation and alignment.
