Default Energy suspension bushing question. 96-00 civic

I have these 4 bushings, that I can't figure out where they go.




The part number is 8096, and it came out of the 16-8111 (99-00 SI) shock mount bushing kit.
The paper says noithing of these 4.

Where do they go?



Thanks.

Yup, top mount bushings. You have 4 pictured, 2 go in each top mount(top and bottom side) so those will work for only 2 mounts.

Picture of mine before I got GC extended ones.

it definetly stiffened the car up quite a bit. I only have the front control arms, and the trailing arm bushings installed. Theres times where it can be a tad harsh, but overall it's not bad.


If I did it again I would only buy the front control arm, trailing arm.

Yeah, they are a bit harsh. 85A durometer is nothing to shake a stick at. But they tighten up the ride so nicely!

Yes they do! It is much more responsive then it was with the old rubber bushings.

The PIC bushings are 85A, I wonder how they would compare to each other?
