Default Bushing Question....

Ok, I decided to get the Prothane bushing kit for my 00 hatch. I am having a little trouble trying to figure out which kit to get. Here is the delima...the 99-00 Si kit doesnt have the same part number as the 00 civic. I have the USDM ITR 5 lug conversion and SI front lower control arms. I havent purchased the sway bar yet or lower rear control arms. Ha.....do the stock 00 civic rear lower control arms even have mounts for the sway bar...lol? I am going to get the beaks reinforment kit and some sway bar....havent decided. Anyways...which kit should I get for my car. Sorry for the poo...

Thanks-J

if you can check the part numbers of the individual bushings for the different parts you have, then buy the kit that has most of what you need, then you may need to guy some extras to fill in the gaps, good luck

I have GSR arms in back and the Energy kit, and the Beaks kit. Guess what? Some trimming required on the Beaks backing plate. Or the mounts wouldn't line up perpendicular to the ground. Just a heads up. I never read this ANYWHERE.

I just used the 99 si kit and the 99 si bushing kit on a 96 hatch. As you already know, used the 99 SI loer control arms and the 99 SI shock forks. Good luck!

if you are putting the si front lcas on your ek, you need the forks as well.

and there is NO trimming required on the Beaks kit for the EK.
