Sometimes you just have an irreconcilable relationship with a car. I hated my 97 lx. I love my 00 even though its not in the best of condition right now.

Jay, get Enegy Suspension. They're 40 bucks and last. They don't need to be clocked a certain way, either. Or another Mugen set. The OEM stuff gets thrashed on lower cars.

Whose hatch, Bryan? We should do pics again.

Ryan, homies camera again?

I'm definitely up for pics again.

Yea I am looking for a 99-00 4dr that is manual and hasn't been in an accident. I'm tired of driving automatic haha

You should look on Craigslist. I got my Nikon D60 for $260-280 and my friend only used it twice.

Thank you Babygirlcivic for the welcome.

There's a clover green pearl one for sale in North Merritt Island. They want too much for it though, last I saw it said $4500 on it.

Keep in mind the Energy Suspension ones require you to burn the old rubber off. I replaced mine with OEM and clocked it to compensate for my lowered car. Hammer it out, hammer new one in. There's a pretty good DIY writeup on here, I'd post a link but I'm on my phone.

Anyone hammer it out while the TA is still mounted to the car? Lawrence?

There are presses that allow you to do them on the car. You'd have to rent one or pay a shop to do it. Installing the ES pieces also require a press.

If you drop the trailing arm you can tap the bushings out and back in with a brass mallet. I saw that youtube video and ran out to the garage and tried it on a spare trailing arm immediately. I was pretty amazed that I always believed I needed the special tool.
