Default Suspension bushings?

Hey whats up! I want to start autoxing my 98 Civic and would like to replace the stock rubber bushings with urethane ones. My problem is no one seems to make a kit for my car. They only go up to 95 civics. They have kits for the Integra all the way up to 97 though and I think most if not all the suspension parts from the Integra bolt right on to my Civic, so the bushing are probably the same right? Does anyone know if this is true or not? Thanks!

It's a good bet that most of them will fit. A sure way to check though is to compare honda/acura part numbers for the bushings in question. If they are the same you are in business.

If they do fit, you're going to LOVE to take corners after that! I had the complete set put on my old 90 integ, and could take corners rated at 25MPH at close to 60. The car was so stiff that you could bounce off it, and it would not move.

The middle bushings on the rear LCA's are different.
If you have a front camber kit, then the inner sleeves from
those bushings can be substituted for the LCA sleeves.
The urethane inserts would then be shaved .5 cm on each side with
a dremel or something. The steering rack bushings may not work, but
the effect is minimal. So who gives. I'm sure if you find an Energy Suspension Master kit that is cheap enough, you can fiddle with it.
