I am looking at updating my suspension and need to replace some worn out parts. Being that the car is a 92 the suspension is getting a little old. I was looking at this bushing kit http://www.energysuspensionpar...=1022 what do you guys think? is it a good deal? Is their any other pieces you would recommend?

 

thats about all you need. have fun my friend that is a very involved install.

the few times i asked they all said the same thing "well we charge xx per hour, so how ever long it takes."

 

heres a newb question i was told the kit doesnt include trailing arm bushings. What are these and are they needed?

 

the big rubber bushing on the rear trailing arms. The OEM ones are known to be bad on our older hondas.

and the biggest pain in the *** to change, i bought mine a year ago, still havent installed them.

 

ive done this on my ef best mod i did make sure that you use alot of the lube they give you or they will squeak, when i took my suspension off i took it to my machine shop and had thenm press the bushings out it cost me like 75$ and i did my rear trailing arms myself well good luck and i know you will be happy

 

those polyurethane bushings don't last long, only about 2 yrs. The rear trailing arm bushins HAVE to be OEM, poly is too hard and doesnt allow the arm to swing properly, putting unneeded stress on the suspension.

thats a topic of debate. Mine are OEM, but I read up on the poly ones before I made my choice.

offtopic, but can you get a master kit from Honda or do you have to pick out every bushing from the list?

Not really a topic of debate. There is a lot of info regarding this on the RR/AX forum. The poly TA bushings don't allow for the correct rear suspension movement and will cause handling issues.
