Can't focus Del Sol
I have a 94 del sol I traded my bicycle for.
So far I have performed an oil change, spark plug and wire change as well as put on a new alternator and belt.
The car is now running but there was a loud bump in left rear suspension which looks to be from the main bushing on the trailing arm. The car is pretty rusty so I ordered like a typical newbie a pair of rear integra trailing arms and got myself in a bind. I am about to instal the trailing arms after I replace the bushings. Then I will need to figure out the best options for rotors and calipers that will work with the integra trailing arm. The parts for stock brake stuff at the auto parts store is more than a big brake kit off of ebay and I am not sure what to do.
I will also have to purchase brake lines, a M/C for integra and integra brake lines and a new ebrake line I hear from the forums.. Though I have no integra brake parts yet and am not sure if I will use a big brake kit..and I don't know if I will need integra lines with a big brake kit.
I am trying not to spend money on needless crap.
I could also use the pick n pull on the west coast for the stock rotors n calipers off the integra where I got the trailing arms.
Tomorrow I am going to buy bushing and try replacing them in the integra arms.
Anyone have any advice or motivation? I could really use both

Re: Can't focus Del Sol
So why did u buy the integra trailing arm when you could just replace the bushings on your current one?
how much are rotors and pads from auto parts store?
Ebay bbk? Ok. Good luck with that. Unless they are from reputable company, i would not risk my life on them.
i cant see how 4 rotors and pads from local parts store costing that much.
replace rta bushings on your current tr. Spend money on quality pads and rotors. Flush brake fluids. Keep up the maintenance. Done.. this way u are not wasting your money.

You should have kept the Del Sol trailer arm and just replaced the bushings. I'm assuming yours is a "S" model with drums in the rear. Brake shoes and brake pads for that car can be had for under $50 total.

+1 you're spending a lot of time and money here, it seems it would be much better off to keep the car stock. I think you will also need to replace the 13 inch wheels to fit larger brakes.

I used your guide and they were very helpful. Found 555 senkai ball joint and tie rod from one of your link. Good price too. So, thanks for that.
