REAR TRAILING ARM BUSHING?
I was wondering where I can pick up a pair of bushings for my rear trailing arm assembly. I have an ef sedan and i have a rear trailing arm assembly from a dc integra, and the bushings on the arms are gone.
Here are some pics of what im looking for:
Any help on where I can locate these in the L.A. area would be greatly appreciated.

Those Megan ones might be alright if they are actually hard rubber. The shape looks just like OEM. But then again, they might just be overpriced OEM replacements.
But yeah those poly RTA bushings are total garbage. They will bind up and the car will not handle properly.

Looks just like these

Those are good for track duty, but they won't really hold up to daily driven weather and road conditions.

Re: (PatrickGSR94)
Yes. Both of those are the same one. Brian @ Pro-Car Innovations has created those for people who are looking for something stiffer then hard rubber or polyurethane. You can daily these, but they might be slightly rough.

What keeps dirt and grit from getting up into that spherical bearing and trashing it, if you use it on a daily vehicle?

Re: (Evs-One)
ummm yea... no 
Once dirt and grit gets on the spherical, it will do damage. Doesn't matter if you reach under there and blow or wipe it off every day, as the damage will have already started.
There's a reason why the ball joints and CV joints have boots on them - to keep grease in and to keep dirt and grit out.
If you're going to run spherical on the street, you need something like HardRace's spherical TA bearings with rubber boots on them to keep dirt out:

Didn't sense the sarcasm in my post?

Re: (Evs-One)
you do not need spherical unless you race your car. buy updated mugen replacement ones and save yourself some money..
Or.. dont listen and buy 350.00 bearings. I hope you have 1000.00 worth of tires to even benefit from them with.

Because $100 is insane for 2 rubber bushings. I've read people on here who got them and commented that they looked and felt EXACTLY like stock, which are like 1/2 the price.
I also just saw the HardRace hard rubber TA bushings for $68 buy it now on eBay.

I double the compound is much different than Honda...anybody know?
And yes, the Mugen and updated Hondas are identical...a few years ago we did tension tests..that, and the fact they appear identical in every way shape or form...

what? I was talking about this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW
I will probably just pick up the full HardRace kit, which includes TA bushings, for under $200 on eBay. That's a whollllleeeee hell of a lot cheaper than all those same bushings from Honda.
