Product Description

The Prothane 18-2012 is a total polyurethane suspension bushing kit built specifically for the 1991-1995 Toyota MR2 (SW20 chassis). It covers all major front and rear control arm and strut rod bushing positions, replacing the factory rubber bushings with firmer, longer-lasting polyurethane. This kit fits both the naturally aspirated 5S-FE and turbocharged 3S-GTE variants across all trim levels including the T-Bar roof configuration. Note that sway bar bushings are not included in this kit - buyers who need sway bar bushings should reference Prothane 18-2009 or source the appropriate sway bar bushing kit separately.

Upgrading to polyurethane on the mid-engine SW20 MR2 platform delivers noticeable improvements in steering precision, rear-end stability, and suspension response - particularly important given the car's rear-weight-biased layout where chassis compliance directly influences handling balance. The kit installs directly into OEM locations with no vehicle modification, and Prothane Super Grease is included to ensure quiet, long-lasting performance. Whether used for daily driving, autocross, or track duty, this kit is a proven first step in refreshing the SW20 MR2 suspension.
