It's much better to fill them with liquid polyurethane. That's not gonna help much.

I don't know what logical reason Prothane made the inserts like this but they've been known to crack. Putting slugs in the holes is a good idea but I would be worried they would work themselves out and become projectiles. I have Energy Suspension for that insert and never had a issue.
Some new parts went in today...

Notice any difference in handling with the thicker sway bars?
I feel a big difference. There is minimal sway while cornering now compared to before. I'm very happy with how it handles with the sway bars and polyurethane bushingsQuote:

So you replaced the whole radiator support to JDM?? or you still have to do the cut to make the headlights fit in?
No one goes through changing the radiator support for the jdm swapQuote:

My radiator support needed to be replaced due to an accident a long time ago. I still had to cut to fit the lightsQuote:

haha, I should have known :P
So how long did it take you to replace the radiator support? coz I think down the road if I'm still gonna work on mine, I may want to do the same thing, since mine also had an accident in the front before, and it'll be great to make it right...
It took a few hours. You need to know how to weld to install the new one. If I could've found a JDM support I would've installed that instead of having to cut into my new oneQuote:

Welding sounds far away from my skill set... Hmmm, wonder if any of those IGS vendor from Europe can get something like that, I guess the shipping is gonna be bad though, since it's metal, assuming its heavier than any other kind of body parts...
It's pretty thin metal. Doesn't weigh much at all. It came in a bulky box thoughQuote:

If I were to do something like that I'd look out for dismantlers in Canada or places like PR or the DR. Than you'd just have to convince them to actually do it as it takes forever to drill off those spotwelds. Heck just buy a halfcut lol.Quote:

Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. They got some jdm goodness.Quote:

My new radiator support just arrived yesterday. Do you have any pictures of where you welded in your new support, or have any suggestions of what to do when installing the new one.Quote:

Didn't get to finish like I had planned. Ran out of time to fab up the bumper. The headlights are nice and flush with the hood now though.

Are those fiberglass jdm parts? I wish I knew you were in the market. I have an extra Oem jdm bumper and grille and fog lights.
