Are these the ones your talking about?

The say in stock. Thanks for the tip btw. I been looking for something to use besides the ES rta bushings I already have.

Edit: Another question for you guys. I have a 89 SiR, If I'm replacing all my front suspension bushings would I use a kit from say a 91 Si? From what I've seen the spindles on my car are a little bigger but everything else is the same. Am i correct?

Chef Andre- in my project I replaced the rta's with hardrace. I will probably use the same for the front LCA's as well. Not sure about the size difference but I think all US spec 88-91 are the same.

Hey Chef, the ones you linked are what I'm going with now, they were in stock, and they arent charging me extra since I waited so long. They are poly/elastomer blend though, supposed to be less prone to squeaking.

The ones I wanted were these -

I dont want to clock as I hope to be able to get more use out of the adjustable suspension this year.

Adrian, look into that grease Rob mentioned, you can get a US formula and looks to be pretty good.

I been going back and forth between Prothane and the hard race. Those whiteline one have my attention though since you don't have to "clock" them. Which is the main reason why I was using the es bushings.

Ah I see. Well the blend should be good for me. I'm not planning on going to the track, just want a quality suspension/ride.

Here's a pic of my project for anyone who's interested. Not sure if I ever posted it here.

90 civic lx
mildly built gsr 183 hp, 131 tq
cable ys1 LS trans
speck 6 puck sprung clutch,spec 8 lb flywheel.

weird problem....
at startup and a few minutes of driving it shifts fine, but after it gets warm/running temperture... it starts getting hard to shift out of gear.where I cant force it out and I press the clutch a 2nd time then I can change gears.... no grinds.... so far it starts acting up in 2nd gear.. then 3rd... then 1st...
also its the older design spec clutch setup. and on a cable trans its very hard to push down on the pedal... like as if its 200% increase pedal pressure than stock. lol
im thinking maybe the flex fingers are acting up on the clutch? or the throwout bearing isnt functioning properly due to broken clutch fork spring???
anybody heard of this dumbass problem? im going to yank the trans out in a day or two...
I dont think its a trans problem because if it was it would be doing it all the time, not as it gets warmer...

I'm guessing change out the throw-out and pilot bearing if you drop the trans. Maybe readjust the clutch cable

clutch cable was pretty tight.... almost bottomed out... and pedal caught at around 20-25% pedal.. I couldnt get around to do it today... had to work on my beater eg... sheesh... as soon as the wife gets a job , eg will be sold and ill get a tsx.... hopefully. tired of one car breaking and having to use the other... but I do believe your correct... that its a clutch problem, not a trans problem... I really need to find a driver friendly race clutch.. the pedal feel on this spec seems like 200% over stock... literally... I want a 40% feel or less.....
