Sh*tbox - where do i get the Prothane trailing arm bushing with the crossmember already installed? I just find it without the crossmember.
And do I already have brake lines in the rear, with the LX. And if i do i would guess i just need to tap in. But if not do i have to run them to the MC.

yeah, you just run the brake lines from the caliper to the hard pipe in your wheel well (like a foot or so). I don't think your LX brake lines will fit though... try and find some integra ones.
I'm not sure where the prothane bushings are sold. the crossmember isn't actually *installed* sorry for the confusion. It just comes with a new crossmember so you don't have to strip all the rubber off and re-use your stock one. Really the hardest part of the bushing job is just stripping all the stock rubber out, so whatever makes you do less of that, is :thumbup:

yeah, the prothane one comes with a new crossmember. If you see a picture of the kit, its a big round donut-style bushing with a gold-colored (like new suspension bolts-kinda bronzy) crossmember.
prothane bushings Those are really expensive though... If I had to pay $100, I'd just get the ES :dunno: My ES ones were like $40 shipped (2-day).

these are for $25 but with no crossmember.

and they will need elbow greese to put them together, Im not sure which to get? Is the price worth it?

Yeah, I guess the prothane's arent worth the money if they cost that much. These bushings DEFINITELY take some elbo grease to get in. Its not very complicated, just time-consuming. With the ES ones, you just re-used your stock crossmember.
