Lower Control Arm Bushing question
so as most of you know blox bushings suck *****..
lca's = good , bushings = crap
so ive called energy suspension and asked them if the 92-95 civic lca bushings would fit onto the 96-00 stock lca.
well the guy i spoke with said that they dont know because they havent done that test nor have they put effort or money into making a replacement bushing for the ek 96-00.. REALLY WACK IMO
The reason i brought up blox is because i get asked alot if there are other replacement bushings besides the ones blox offers..
these are pics of the 92-95 civic energy suspension bushings part#16.3104 im thinking about getting so i can put them on my blox lca for 96-00 civic
SO MY QUESTIONS ARE:
1.)Does the energy suspension bushings part no#16.3014(for a 92-95 civic) fit on an ek 96-00 civic? has anyone ever attempted it? what were the results?
2.)Does the energy suspension bushing part no#16.3014(for a 92-95 civic) fit the Blox LCA for 96-00 civic? has anyone ever attempted it? what were the results? if it didnt fit what was the problem? do you think it can be modified to fit?
3.) what other options are there to replace blox bushings? what other brands besides energy suspension and prothane makes good bushings for lcas?

Re: Lower Control Arm Bushing question
The bushing for the shock mount will be wider, however, that really isn't that hard to fix.
They "should" work. I am saying this because EG trailing arms will fit into EK's, so I'd assume the bushings are the same size.
Due the Blox LCA's running smaller size bushings then OEM they will need to be trimmed to fit correctly.
Due to this, poly is your only option.
