Kw v3 advise for collar vs just bushings

[azeemsyed43]

Hey guys, I finally got around to having my new suspension delivered. They are KW's V3 and before i tackle the job i wanted some opinions. The NSX has 115k miles now. Still on its original suspension. Im looking to purchase new bushings. However, SOS also sells a more 'complete' assembly where they sell you new collars/bushings/washers/mounts for this application/use case. Obviously this is more cost.

My question to the seasoned/experienced owners here are if this is worth the extra effort or are the stock collars/mounts pretty good and hold its weight well. FWIW, Im the second owner and there is no evidence of winter/salt driving conditions, etc. Overall from the exterior they look good. Otherwise, Ill just end up getting new bushings for all four corners.

Thank you for any input!

Just buy the new bushes, your top mounts will be fine. Rock Auto for them if you aren't bothered about OEM, less than half that price.

Absolutely nothing wrong with re-using your oem top hats and bushings. Only downside is that you will need a springs compressor to remove them safely, so more work but easily do-able.

Stock is fine. New won't be any better unless yours are torn (highly unlikely, they rarely wear out).

stock is fine. I only got the SOS ones because I didn't have the stock ones anymore.

Thanks for all the advise here. I ended up purchasing some replacement bushings from RA. Install Friday.
