Icon2 Trailing arm bushings too small, need expert advice.

Hey guys new to the site, I just purchased an 89 civic with a b16a swap. It has the rear disc conversion and the trailing arms off an integra. However the bushings I was given by Honda are 3.13 inches and they need to be 3.25 inches otherwise it slides right through the opening. What could lead to that discrepancy? Perhaps it's off a jdm integra? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated

DA integra trailing arm bushings are bigger. thats all.

you can bore and clean out all the old rubber from the DA bushing and the new one will fit right inside.

or just get the right bushing.

I bought the bushings for an EF, but they are to small and there is too much space since the trailing arms are off a DA integra.

What didn't you understand? YOU HAVE TO USE THE ONES FOR THE INTEGRA AS THEY ARE BIGGER THAN THE CIVIC/CRX's...
