Blox rear LCA bushings - Energy Suspension rear kit
Two things:
1. Have Blox rear LCA which I want to replace the bushings. I am installing red Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings all around the car. Are there red polyurethane bushings available for the Blox rear LCA?
2. I bought an Energy Suspension kit (#16.18103R) for my 93 del Sol. I think it has absolutely all the related bushings for the car, but it does not contain most of the bushings for the rear. Neither came with bushings for the sway bar and rear trailing arm.
Does anyone know which other kit I should buy to have all (or almost all) the bushings?
Please do not discuss if they are good or not, that is not the point or the question. That is what I want.

A while back, energy's recommendation was to not use the RTA bushing except for drag racing use. I swear I remember something on their site explaining why that bushing wasn't in the kit. You need to buy the RTA bushing seperately.
Also..since civics/integras came with so many different sway bar combos...those bushings aren't included in kits. You need to buy the specific part numbers for your size of bar. There's no sway bar bushing kit that includes 4 bushings. Only pairs.
Same as above for sway bar link bushings.

The car I bought already had the RTA bushings, but one of them was out of place. Maybe that's the reason. They came loose with side loads.
Also, do you know about any insert I can use for the OEM style RTA rubber bushings?

There aren't any inserts that I know of. Inserts would be unreliably fastened, make a lot of noise, and would have an even more abbreviated life span...and they would chew up the existing RTA bushing.
For the trailing arms bushings, those things doesn't last and to replace them need to take to a shop with a press. And in my opinion I don't like them. Also spherical bearings are noisy.
I will like to hear what experiences the people are having with other options available.
