Default Bushing Kit...

What is a good bushing kit that you guys would recommend I put on my 1991 Civic SiR (a real right hand drive one) I heard that not all of the bushing will fit on my car cause they made it for the US. (but I thought they were basically the same thing! )

Thanks for the help...

energy suspension master set is what I use. The only bushings that didnt fit were the front upper control arm bushings so I didnt bother doing them. You will have to buy the trailing arm bushings seperatly but they are well worth doing.

From what i've read/heard in regards to the rear trailing arm, it's best to replace with an OEM bushing. The urethane ones are too stiff and will make your car tail happy. I'd get some more feedback from those who have done it.

i've heard the poly bushing don't last long at all.

there is a company called hard rubber that you should check into iirc.
hard as poly, but made out of rubber

It all comes down to you taste in ride quality. some ppl like stiff suspension and others like a soft comfy ride. Ive had ES bushings on my 89 crx for the past 4 years and have yet to hear a squeak or have a problem with them and the ride is nice and firm but not rock hard either. It also comes down to the conditions of the roads and how you drive some ppl slow down for speed bumps and pot holes and others dont. but if dont want any possible problems OEM is the best way to go if you want a long lasting bushing.
