I know the bushing is a different size on a DA, but this link suggests that one can press a civic bushing into a DA arm by leaving the DA "sleeve" in the trailing arm as if you were doing energy suspension bushings.

I'm having a hard time visualizing how the PCI pieces install, and whether my idea would work. I've already burned out the rubber as I was going to do the ES bushings, but for a track car that will see a lot of VIR and Summit, I've been reading mixed reviews.

From the pictures I have seen it looks like the sleeve is removed completely so I don't think that idea would work for the PCI bushings. You might be able to trim the sleeve and make it work, but I wouldn't trust it.

If this is a track day/HPDE car you could just switch to the 88-91 civic/crx RTAs. The only downside to this would be a skinnier track width in the rear. Many nasa/scca classes wouldn't allow it if that's what you are using the car for.

I know with standard rubber bushings you can use the original metal sleeve from the DA and use that as a spacer around an EF bushing. But I'm not sure how that will work with the PCI. I'm currently running DC2 trailing arms with PCI sphericals on my DA. Works well so far but I'm not sure how the track width may have been altered - I know it altered my camber a bit.
