I will be *** deep in my suspension soon on my 96-98 Hatchback, as I'm replacing my rear drums and front discs with GSR brakes. As of now all I have are TIEN SS Coilovers sitting there now. I'd like to replace all the bushings with ES bushings in the process, as I hopefully wont be doing this anytime soon again. My question then is, which ES kit should I purchase? Thanks in advance for your help...

 

Do you have an electronic copy of the haynes manual, I printed out a copy of the suspension part, great labeled graphic, that helped me with understand what all the components are called.

Are you doing your rear trailing arm busings? The ES ones are junk becuase you ahve to reuse your metal pieces, ppl are really backing the mugen ones right now, and they are cheap! Or the prothane, but the mugen one's are an OEM design where the prothane ones aren't

the ES kit doesn't come with , I think any upper control arm bushings. It's really a nightmare of piecing things together, to make things harder, I'm doing the front GSR disks on my EJ too.

Good luck I'll be checking this thread. OH yeah, find out your sway bar size in the rear, caue you have to order the sway bar bushings for tha specific size...

this would be so much easier if they made a "GSR brakes in a civic" ES kit *hint* *hint* And i'm still confused after reading tons of writeups whether I have to get 99-00 front spindles to make sure there isn't any positive camber. ?
