Default 2nd gen rear upper control arm

Has anyone done energy suspension bushings in these yet? I looked through their catalog but they don't list them If anyone has measurements so I can order a generic size or someone has done them from another car application could you let me know? Thanks in advance!!

I have yet to find any bushings for the upper control arms also. I have found "camber adjust" rear upper arms that come with Poly bushings installed though.

Ya thats all I've found too I haven't found any local wreckers that have a 2nd gen in there. Have you found that there's a difference between the left and right? I thought they would've been the same like the 1st gen uppers.

I have not found any difference between the left and right side 2nd gen. All geometrys look symetrical to me. I did find find some Poly bushings made by Polythane (via ebay) though but they seemed a bit high in price.

Weird, cuz there's different p/ns for each and one is a bit cheaper. Its confusing and thank you for the lead on polythane, I'll look into that. Maybe I can get some measurements from them.

i recomend NOT doing poly bushings on your v. especialy if its daily driven. ive read to many storys about dail driven cars with poly bushings and they just crumble apart after 30k miles. and they will bind up too much on our v's. when i did them too my old ef, i could feel every vibration throughout my entire car. way too stiff. i just replaced every bushing on my da teg and it feels like a brand new car all over again. i would steer clear of trying other cars bushings on your v.

Thanks for the input. I'm not quite sure how they can bind when the collar floats on the bushing. I've done full poly to my DB1 and have 60k on them with no signs of deterioration. The V still has stock suspension so I'm not worried about feeling the harshness of the stiff bushing.

ive just seen pics of them after 30k and they are a pile of orange crumbs. they are just not really meant for a daily driven car. my integra will prolly only see 1k miles a year and i would never use them. i love the feel of my new oem bushings.
