To any of you that have bought the master set for a 90-93 accord what bushings does it come with?? Any bushings for the rear?? New strut rod bushings?? I checked on the ES web site and I didnt see anything listed for the rear.
Contact ES, and check suspensionrestoration.com for the kits/sets (a good company-sets are more expensive, but they STOCK the stuff, not just "order" it for every single order, "wait 3-6 weeks for us to get it..." as I got from other companies...
I waited over 4 weeks for the front kit, multiple excuses (I am finding this is typical for ES kits from most supply houses). Got pissed, cancelled the order, called susp.com, and they had the kit in stock. Had it in 2 days.
ES did NOT have the rear stuff for my 1994, only the front stuff. Prothane (and 1-2 others) made the REAR stuff, but not the front. It all made no sense, but that's the way it is. (ES makes the front kits, due to DEMAND. Not too much demand for rear stuff, so they don't make it...)
If you go ES front, you may have to stay stock OEM rear. Not the end of the world, the front bushings take most of the abuse, and supply most of the performance. The OEM bushings are pretty good. Wrenchy

Dude, gtfo... Wrenchy good info. Appearantly Prothane has the rear covered but at about $230 for the kit vs. ES's 80 bux.

Never said I was a tech- just been "busting nuts" for a lot of years.
Not even a Honda guru- just know a bit from common-sense from having worked on a few 4-bangers over the years (Toyota/Honda/Nissan). I do know my 1994 inside/out, due to working on it for 12+ years.
Electrical? Never had to touch the electrical in my '94, ever, except fuses and a few bulbs.
Drag out the manual. When I need to troubleshoot my electrical, this is where I will start. With the diagrams, troubleshooting logic-trees, and a good tester all you will really need is some patience. Wrenchy
