Rear Disc Converion - Hit your local junkyard. For upgraded bushings..im guessing you mean the polyurethane inserts? Check with Energy Suspension. I'm sure they have some deals over in the suspension/performance Sponsor classifieds.

you can go with honda, mugen , energy, or prothane for ta bushings.
energy suspension is the cheapest. mugen bushings are a bit stiffer than honda bushings.
prothanes are the easiest to install. for trailing arms hit the junkyard.

For the ta bushings I ordered the prothane ones for the crx through summitracing. If I remember right they cost me about $94.

did you have trouble with the rotted bushings i'll prolly have to torch em huh? and the bolt that they use to adjust the toe setting towars the front of the trailing arm does not wanna let go of that bushing i guess thats what you get for 13 years of neglection.

i installed the entire master kit from energy suspension, added the trailing arm bushings. compensator arm bushings and motor mount inserts are from prothane. i have tubular upper control arms w/ adjustable balljoints, and rear camber adjusters too. i will resize some pics and post them.
btw. did you notice the body work under the hood? every hole, body seams, brackets removed, and all low spots evened out. all that was done by welds, fiberglass or body filler.

Is there any chance that the seams will crack the body filler/fiberglass out?

Anybody have a street car like that? It looks awesome.

i'm hoping it wont be a problem, i kept the fillers to a minimum and used welds as much as possible. here are some more pics of the parts and such.

Do you know what control arms those are?

I inherited a pair exactly like that and haven't been able to determine the manufacturer or if they're very good etc.
