Energy Susp. Rear trailing arm bushings
Note I did search, however I have some additional questions.
I am swaping in a rear set from a 00 civic si and was going to install the Hyperflex system in the process. I am now reading about people experiencing 'binding' due to the stiffness of the rear trailing arm bushing. I only drive my civic in the summer and it is garaged year round (I will be taking it to midohio to do some track events this year). I am curious to know what you think about this bushing, is it too stiff? Would you recomend keeping the stock bushing? Perhaps even drill some evenly spaced holes in the polyurethance bushing to give it more flex? Any feedback is greatly appreciated before I start this project.

Don't drill holes in the bushing, just grease it up good with the grease they send you with the kit. I put the Hyperflex bushing set in my '99 Si two years ago (including the giant trailing arm bushing) and have not had any problems with it.

Awesome... I did ever bushing in my 95 and it was night and DAY. It was so tight - just the way it should be ;0) *wink* *wink*. They give you plenty of grease, use it all. Good luck.
