Default Bushing install

I finally installed my energy suspension bushing kit into my crx today (it took over a month to get here). Took me 8 hours. That was one long install. I have access to a shop, lift, air tools, a press and it still was a pain in the ass. Those oem honda bushings dont want to come out after 15 years. I cant even imagine how some people do that shit in there driveway, on jackstands with only hand tools. I got some respect for them. Also put in my spc adjustabe balljoints. Monday is alignment day and then some fon. I cant wait to try it out.How many of you have put these kits in your cars. Did you feel a difference in handling?

I did it the hard way without air tools, and without a press. Difference in handling is night and day.

Default I did it two years ago.

Two months ago I did it again, the poly ones were looking a bit out of shape (60,000 miles). Very easy the second time around! I liked the ride but my stock ones had 240,000 miles on them. I may replace the stock ones on another set of arms I have, but I will definetly need a press for those to go back in, a socket and hammer really f 'd one up(I wouldn't want to drill, cut and pound out bushings later if decide to poly after that).
Wait until you do the trailing arm bushings!

I did do the trailing arm bushings. I was smart and did them when I had it all apart to do my rear disc swap. Those things would be a pain in the ass to do with the arm in the car. The difference in handling is like night and day now.I was impressed
