Icon2 Trailing arm bushing too small

I have a 91 Civic Si, and the trailing arm bushings need replacement. I have recently replaced the rear brakes that were on it (and had to order Integra parts since it had been converted to read discs). In a momentary lapse in reason I ordered the 91 Civic T/A bushings, and this morning went to replace them; only to find out that they were too small. The new ones are 80mm diameter and the ones installed are 84mm. Luckily I found that out before removing the old ones. I've looked up the Integra parts but they are identified as 3.16 in diameter (80.2mm), and I will end up with the same ones I have now. I've been searching online for about 3 hours now and cannot figure out what T/A is installed on my civic. I really dont want to replace the entire T/A for a $40 bushing. PLEASE HELP!!!

you need DA integra bushings since you have a DA trailing arm.

or hollow out the old ones and push them in the old shell.
