the teg booster is wider, thus will give u a tight fit, almost made pull my intake manifold just to get it in, but if u giggle it the right way at a certain angle, it will go in. and underneath the dash u have to unbolt 4 12mm bolts and a cotter pin, afterthat, off comes the mc and u can pull the booster out.

Long read, but informative.
The minute I took those ES trailing arm bushings out and put in the Mugen ones, it was NIGHT and DAY different (in a good way).
So OG it hurts.

Interesting. Lack of movement I guess is there.
When I had my hatch. I noticed nothing out of the ordinary, but I was running insane rear spring rates. I had poly bushings all around. I was very happy with the upgrade. My suspension tended to remain loaded jacked up and on the ground.
One thing I've noticed is there really is not "bad" suspension setup. A lot of people have a lot of different setups, many of 'em are happy with it.
I think I'd probably go with spherical beraings (if available) for my hatch, if not I'd do a prothane kit. I don't see me forking over $ for more rubber. That's just me.
Still here... sorta...

overall im happy with this setup, tho the cosmetic brembos, but oh well, next time around ill go with the blanks. im so happy that the arms also fix my right rear bent arm, now my wheel is sittin a bit of negative camber. the only thing i had a bit of trouble was pullin the booster out and puttin the teg one in, now thats some fun. i know what u mean josh. 
and josh my skunk2s r teggy rate, beat that.

As for the booster/MC, did you take the MC off to get it in there? I had to and it was still a BEOCH! You totally dropped the ball not putting the prop valve on there. I just wanted you to have to go through the hell that I had to.

combine wit the yellows, i love em. i sold my old civic rate skunk2s to a friend with a 01 gsr, he mated those with tokico illuminas set on 5, and the ride imo is soft yet good for his daily drivin style. for me, i like the stiffness.
yeah i told the mc off the booster, i cant imagine anyone tryin to put a booster in with the mc on. its just not possible and even without the mc, its still a beetoch and half. and yes im lucky on the prop valve.
