LCA Biushing question
http://www.jdmfan.com/technical/susp..._lca_bushings/
On the site in the pic with the problem/cure will that wheel make it harder for steering?
Also when you lower the car do you need to replace the oem bushings for somthing more durable like whats on that site? It sudjests Energy Suspension Polyurethane bushings but is it necessary? My right side of the back of my car looks like its tilting downwards. It did this on my stock struts/spring and even with my aftermarket strut/springs. Could this be the cause of bad bushings or the sort? Anyone know?

It can't hurt to replace your bushings. I have the ES kit on my civic and it made a good deal of difference. By replacing your bushings, you will not fix all of your camber problems when lowered. You need to get a camber correction kit like Ingals or Skunk2.

I dont know if it has been in an accident or not. There is a place where I live that has a laser for 200$ can check to see if it has. Thats alot of money. If I go that route I'm basicly going to waste 200 just to find out if it has or not when I could have used that 200 into somthing more permentant that can be active not knowledge based.
You say a slight diffrence so that pic in that sight ist doing any bad to the wheel?

As for the installation, I had the use of a press so it wasn't that bad. I highly recommend this method of replacement. It took about an hour to do the entire front end. Installation is easy with a press.
