I'm looking to redo all the bushings in my tired Civic EK, but I'm having some trouble tracking down the right parts. Originally, I wanted to replace the worn out OEM pieces with HardRace hard ruber bushings, but apparently the FLCA bushings in their 96-00 kit will not fit in non-EM1 Civics. I know that the EM1 FLCA are bigger and beefier, but are the bushings really that different as well? Has anyone tried the Hardrace bushings in their non-Si Civics?

Also, since I apparently cannot used the Hardrace kit. I was goint to replace the worn out pieces with OEM parts instead. But on internet discount sites, there are 2 bushings on the front and rear LCA's are not listed individually. Does anyone know the part #'s to these bushings? EDIT: These are the parts I'm talking about:





Please, help! I don't want to have to resort to using Poly's simply because they offer the parts I need.

Im pretty sure those are integrated into the arm and not sold separately. I bought new arms when I did mine.

 

oops. here. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/2411953

 

Thanks for the link, but I think those part numbers were for EG/DC's. He didn't implictly state that they were for EK's as well. Does anyone know if they are all the same? And also, will EM1 FLCA bushings work in other 96-00 Civics?

 

I would pay a bit more and go for the Si LCAs as they are stronger and ligher than the cast version. However, you do have to change the shock forks to the Si type units if you want to make the switch.

Yeah, I'm running EG/DC front LCAs because I'm also using an EG/DC subframe.

I have my stock stuff LCAs if you're interested in buying them. I can check the condition of the bushings.

Yeah, initially I wanted to go with EM1 FLCA's but they are near impossible to find used. And the whole setup costs &gt;$300 from Honda so I couldn't do that . I have integra brakes with Civic EX knuckles so I got matching EX LCA's so that at least I can run a sway bar. So, I'm actually looking to replace the bushings on the EX LCA, not the DX one.

.dave: I'm looking to get the REAR LCA's off a EK hatch so that I could have a friend press out the bushings from all four LCA's without having to take the rear LCA's off my car. So, if you have them, I'd take them from you.
