Default What bushing kit to use with ITR suspension on a DA...

I am planning on doing the ITR 5-lug conversion on my 92 DA in the near future. Since I am doing it I may as well upgrade my bushings. I've never installed a full bushing kit before, so I have no clue as to what comes with it. I'm afraid I may need some DA pieces and some ITR pieces. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I remember correctly -- the front conversion involves machining the ITR hubs to fit the DA kuckles, so you would replace the bushings just like you would on a stock DA.
The rear is supposed to 'bolt up', which I take to mean that the rear hub/brake assembly gets swapped in its entirety (I don't think you swap the trailing arms, as they are not the same for DAs and DCs). Again, I think you'd use the DA bushings exclusively. I'd search, there are some threads discussing this conversion, and which parts get swapped.

I searched, but couldn't find anything. What sort of machining are you talking about...I don't want to machine them much...might weaken them. I am already using the ITR LCA'S, so I could use some TEIN HA'S I picked up. I would think that there would be a mixture of bushing's, but I'm just not sure.

good luck getting the factory rivits out of the trailing arms...

Engergy suspension would be the best for money and effectiveness

Go to this site -- this is the most complete writeup I've seen. I may have been mistaken about the trailing arms earlier. Anyway, good luck.

That's a good writeup. I was worried about the machining. Now I have to find a decent shop around here that can do this. Of course...I've got a few months to save up for this. Have you seen any other writeups???

Why would I need to get the rivets out of the trailing arms??? Take off the hubs???

That's the only one I know of off-hand. If you haven't already, search around The Generation 2 Integra Club. There are threads on this conversion floating around.

YUP.
If you can't find his article I can get the link off him personally.

Also, Type-R rear trailing arms WILL fit a DA integra. You just need to reuse your existing DA's front toe control arm on the ITR rear trailing arms.

you more than likely need to use a DA integra's front bushing kit and a 94-01 integra rear bushing kit (if you wind up using the ITR rear trailing arms)...actually the 94-01 rear trailing arm bushing kit should be compatible with a DA's rear trailing arm.

also

SLOW4drINTEG

has a 5 lug on his DA on honda-tech

Cool guy, he came down and picked up some parts and I couldnt believe I saw a 5 lug on his DA (this was back awhile ago)

He can answer all of your questions. But yah, from what he told me... he just basicly bolted it on.
