Default Poly Bushings for 2000 4dr V6

Does anyone know where I can get a set of poly bushings for my 2000 V6 sedan? I've checked Energy Suspension and Prothane and couldn't find anything. Also, does the J30A1 have engine mount inserts that can be made poly? Any help is greatly appreciated.

dont bother making the engine/transaxle mounts urethane unless you plan on using it as a dedicated track car, there needs to be SOME amount of give and flex in order for the entire assembly to move. You will need to reinforce mounting points in the long run if you make them delrin, urethane, or solid steel/aluminum.. On the street, paved roads arent the best thing for urethane engine mounts, something has to give, and it will be the mounting points.
You can probably try www.suspension.com over here in Modesto, CA if you REALLY want something made for your car, you just need a micrometer and good measuring skills and they can make anything.

However, doing control arms, sway bars, etc...you would benefit using urethane so the suspension geometry moves in its intended motion with little flex. You can achieve a true alignment this way.

A friend of mine is going to make the suspension bushings for me. He is a master machinist and pours bushings for industrial equipment that he repairs. The stuff that he does has tighter tolerances than car parts. I was mainly looking to see if anyone with a 6th gen Accord 4-door has found a company that sells the kit already measured, fit and tested.
