About Prothane

With an idea of developing outstanding performance parts out of urethane PROTHANE Motion Control formed its company back in 1991 and they knew that the key to success was in designing and producing a product that would meet customer demands for a primo quality part. The fact that they are still in business and successful after all these years is a testament to their dedication and innovative urethane formulas as well as their aim for customer satisfaction. They started PROTHANE Motion Control with fewer than one hundred parts and the company has managed to mushroom that number into a potpourri of parts for nearly every car in the industry. One of the secrets to the success of Prothane Motion Control is the fact that they utilize the very latest in high tech equipment like the SolidWorks 3D CAD based program used in the design phase to assure you of a preeminent replacement part that will fit perfectly. The research and development team at PROTHANE Motion Control has the important task of developing new high performance and longer lasting parts to replace the factory parts that are made of rubber and become weak, especially those areas that are subjected to a lot of stress. The urethane products by PROTHANE, such as Prothane bushings, are manufactured from start to finish in their facility in the United States where everything can be closely monitored to assure you of a preeminent product for your car. Car manufacturers use rubber as a cost saving measure and, particularly during performance driving, this can result in these parts wearing and causing poor handling but with a urethane part from PROTHANE this will not be a problem since they are much more durable than your original factory installed rubber part. The transmission mounts in your car, as I am sure you know, serve a very important role and that is to support your car’s powertrain and concurrently isolate the vibrations produced by your car’s powertrain from the chassis. When your transmission mounts become weak or broken from age or excessive force such as in racing or other forms of high powered driving you could experience several problems: a belt driven fan could possibly hit the fan shroud, the fan could hit your radiator hose, heater or radiator hoses could fail and it could possibly cause your throttle linkage to bind; and none of these would be fun, particularly not at the track. The transmission mounts available on the LMPERFORMANCE web site for your iconic Firebird and Camaro from PROTHANE are of a much smoother product and much more resilient with its polyurethane fabrication and sui generis built in safety interlock feature making them ideally suited to the performance driver who uses his Firebird and Mustang on the strip or for racing. Also available on the LMPERFORMANCE web site are the motor mounts for your Mustang made with steel constructed housing and the primo quality PROTHANE bushings, and urethane Insulation and they are a sure bet for the discriminating driver who wants a more reliable motor mount that will stand up to the harsh treatment it gets at the track. If you have a Camaro, check out these great BMR Motor Mounts that will give you a boost in performance!

Prothane

Prothane was launched in 1991 when it started offering superior performance urethane based products. At the time, they started with less than 100 part numbers. Using its special formulations, precise engineering methods and attention to customer’s needs has fueled their growth. They now offer an extensive line of urethane based performance products for cars and trucks. Whether it’s sport compact, European, or domestic car or truck, Prothane has products for it!

How Are Urethane Colors Rated?

Prothane kits are stocked only in red or black urethane. (Hardness/Durometer Ratings Are Not Affected By The Color)

Does Urethane Squeak?

High frequency vibrations that can be heard rather than felt cause squeaking. It is usually created by lack of lubrication, poor installation, incorrect part, or urethane that may be too hard for the application.

Research and Development

Prothane Research and Development focuses on finding the weak and high stressed areas of vehicles’ components where rubber bushings and mounts have become worn and damaged. Using the OEM part as a base, they develop a high performance part to replace it.

Engineering and Design Process

They design all their high-performance components using SolidWorks, a three-dimensional CAD based program. This makes sure all of their research and innovative designs will create the ultimate performance replacement parts for any vehicle.

In-House Machining and Manufacturing

All of their products’ machining, and manufacturing processes are performed in-house in the USA. This allows a high-quality product from beginning to end.

These are some of the items you can find at LMPerformance for your Acura

If you are adding a body kit to your Acura CL Integra, NSX, RSX, TL OR TSX for aesthetic reasons only then you have a varied range of materials to choose from but if you are doing it to improve performance then aerodynamics is one of the most important deciding factors. Late Model Performance offers you body kits specific to your Acura CL, Integra, NSX, RSX, LT or TSX. The DURAFLEX brand by the transcendent manufacturer Extreme Dimensions took the fiberglass market by storm with the DURAFLEX aerodynamics by a marriage of fiberglass, plastic, and flex resins to obtain sui generis features allowing DURAFLEX aero parts a much higher durability rate than the average fiberglass product and the primer finish helps you get that paint job done faster and with outstanding results. We also can supply you with the DURAFLEX Bumper (Front), Bumper (Rear) and Side Skirts if you do not need a full body kit at this time.

Upgrading your shocks imparts a miscellany of advantages, ranging from better vehicle stability, to improved control, and in some cases, a smoother ride and a working set of shocks propitiously lessens the wear on your suspension, wheels and tires. The shocks on your Acura are formulated for improved drivability, control, and vehicle stability, but these conditions are terrain-dependent. KONI, the preeminent manufacturer of performance shocks in the world knows this and as a result developed a potpourri of shocks to meet your needs whether it be everyday driving or in situations requiring greater impact dampening - such as racing or off road driving. There are three choices for your Acura: the Street Orange Shock is totally new and is individually tailored and engineered to give your car that KONI sports feel with improved handling and less roll; the Sport Yellow Shock serves Sporting Drivers focusing on road holding and handling, h a reasonable level of driving comfort and usable with spring kits to lower a vehicle up to 35mm; and the FSD Gold shock absorbers; a smart suspension system adjusting automatically to road conditions as well as driving style. Learn which KONI shock is ideal for your model Acura and driving style by using the drop down lists on our web site.

A slipping, sticking or stiff clutch in your Acura or a slipping in your drag vehicle may mean it is time for a change to a Performance Clutch by the inimitable SPEC. Their street high performance and racing clutches and flywheels are manufactured in multitudinous Clutch Kits, from street kit Stage 1,2,2+, 3, and 3+ to Race Kits Stage 4 and 5 and the SPEC Super Twin with TQ ratings of over 1500 FT TQ! The Stage 1 is primo for Street, Drag, Drift, Road Race, Rally, Pulling, Autocross; the Stage 2, 2+, 3, 3+, 4 and 5 can be used for Street, Drag, Pulling, and Autocross; the Super Twin is beneficial in all types of driving; and the Mini Twin is serviceable in limited street, drag, drift, road racing, time attack, pulling and rally driving. Since performance clutches typically involve heavier springs and different disc materials they result in a clutch with more clamping force, meaning more torque can be transmitted without the clutch slipping, and the clutch will be much more likely to grab under aggressive shifting or clutch dumping - perfect for racing and off-road. Because SPEC billet flywheels are manufactured to .001 machine tolerance that, guaranteeing a flat seating surface for the clutch and smooth rotational qualities for perfect balance and extended engine life and they are constructed from only the highest quality steel and aluminum. Quicker revs, more horsepower and increased engine reliability are a result of installing stock appearing aluminum pressure plates. With the SPEC Super Clamp pressure plate, you can expect a 50-60% increase in clamp load above and beyond the increase offered by the standard high clamp pressure plate

Aftermarket performance exhausts create a quicker, more efficient path for exhaust gases to escape meaning your engine "breathes" better, so spent fuel and air exit the combustion chambers faster thus more fuel and air can be burned to create more power.

Each INVIDIA Stainless Exhaust is constructed with high quality SUS304 Stainless Steel, CNC-machined flanges, and manufactured with a polished finish.
