Default EG rear arms

I'm restoring /updating the suspension on my 92 Si, Energy Susp., Skunk2 uppers,Neuspeed coilovers, and the topic of my post, the adjustable uppers in the rear. I don't see how they (the threaded uppers) can adjust the camber without twisting the **** out of the trailing arm against the pain-in-the-***-to-install rear trailing arm bushings. The bushings are supposed to resist this kind of deflection in the first place, right? Hopefully the amount of adjustment won't be so much as to cause binding or decreased performance of the assembly. I'm getting concerned about the design of this part of the kit now that I see Prothane's version where the bushing is captured on the center shaft with washers and the shafts mounting holes are slotted-looks alot better, but hella expensive! I'm getting tired of buying the extra **** that wasn't included in the "Master Set". Like the rear trailing arm bush, compensator arm bush, sway bar mount bush (still don't have last two.)

Could you clean this up a bit? I am not sure exactly what you need, it is a bit too wordy. Are you concerned about the adjustable arms working against the new trailing arm bushings?

Wow and I thought I needed to re read my messages. YOu got me beat by a mile.
master set should have all major suspension bushign minus trailing arm bushings If I'm correct. And that you don't have Integra parts mixed in matched which I'm told on Lower control arms maybe different.

Edit or repost what you are asking help for.

Sorry about that, I'll re-formulate. Hammerhead makes that kick-*** carbon fiber right?

That's what I was tryin to say.

(Side Note....are the ES trailing arm bushing okay to use?? or should I get the prothan ones?? or just stock??)
The ES have a shoulder molded into them so they should stay located pretty well. but as I was saying, the Prothane seems to have alot more thought into it...but high

Yeap that is the company. I sell for them as well but there on major back order due to making airplane parts first.
