thanks man... i hate navigating the summit site...but that price isnt bad at all.. i only think i need the front upper/lower now..not the master kit.

my rear lowers = spherical ball bearings, my rear uppers are being changed but arent bad...

If you don't need the entire set, I wouldn't buy it. Like I mentioned before, when I bought my master set (for a DA) for my hatch, I had a lot of bushings left over that I didn't or couldn't use.

Just try to buy what you need. I did in fact get mine from summit.

I'm going from obd0 to obd1, so now I have to re-route my temp sensor wires. Anyway, when I get a plug for that sensor, does it matter which wire goes to which pin on the plug?

That's what kyle said, but for some reason it seems like it should, because the obd0 sensor uses 2 single prong plugs

I think the one kyle is thinking about is this one
But I forgot what it was for.
But yes I did have to extend the wires and change the plug for it
The wires are green and black

on the Energy Suspension topic:

if you only need certain bushings, and or they might be for different cars (ef/da) then just order them separately from Autozone if you have one near you. They carry a full line of ES products, and it only takes a day or two for shipping. Thats where ive ordered all of my bushings from. Prices are actually very good too.

do you see the round rubber plug thing in the first picture? its sorta behind your distributor.

that's a cam seal. they arent too hard to install. a little time consuming, thats all. some companies make some billet seals with 3 O-rings in them too. ive heard those work better, and they are blingin'. but i have some stock seals laying on my work bench in the garage.

Do you guys think you could help me out with my dash? It's got one little noise when I drive and I was just curious if anyone knows/has any tips on silencing the interior noise. I have mid-level Hasport mounts for my B16

You sound just like my father...

I'll tell you what I tell him EVERYTIME he complains about a new noise: "Listen old man, you drive a hybrid Honda. Get over it."

I know that doesn't help, but it might put things into perspective for you.

While we are on the topic of bushings. My rear trailing arm bushings are shot and need replacement. I am tempted to go spherical but the prices i have seen are pretty outrageous. I also see that summit sells the prothane trailing arm busings seperate for $30, but you need to resuse the stock "pins". Suggestions on what to do/buy? How much are stock replacements? (Car is not daily driven, and should be seeing track time soon)

I believe LHTperformance makes vibration free mounts for B-&gt;EF, but they will only sell them with installation, which is like $1400.

I read about
people mixing running oem RTA bushings with poly bushings in other places..
spherical for the lcas.

Do people usually get their oem replacements from the dealer or what? Maybe one of you guys that works at the dealer can help me out?
