CRX/Integra Bushings
I have a 91 CRX with a 91 CRX front/rear suspension conversion. Many of the bushings are shot so I pretty much need to buy a kit and replace them all... question is will a CRX bushing kit fit the integra suspension pieces I have like the control arms?
The rear trailing arm is easy because it comes in a separate kit so I can just order it for the Integra. The rest of the bushings I'm not sure about... anyone done this? Also I'm looking at getting the Energy Suspension bushings... any thoughts/experiences?
Thanks

ummm, '91 CRX with a '91 CRX front/rear suspension conversion?
I'm guessing you meant '91 Integra conversion. I had a DC Integra suspension on my EG hybrid and used an Energy Suspension master kit for an Integra on my car. I was using all Integra LCA's and bushings though so it was pretty easy decision.

Lower Control Arm, basically the lower arm on the suspension that the bottom of the shock actually attaches to. Most of the bushings on the ES kits are for those arms, front and rear. Here's a pic of mine from my '92 CX (this is a GS-R rear arm)

I just had that pic online anyway. The grease fittings I added when I installed the bushings to keep them from sqeeking but I never actually did grease them (car was wrecked a few months later). Those bushings in the front and rear are where most of an ES kit goes in a Honda suspension. I've never owned a CRX so I'm not familar with it's exact layout but I'm assuming it's simliar. If you're using the Integra suspension arms, go with an Integra kit (most likely the bushings are the exact same anyway).

Yeah, the Integra kit should fit you fine. I know with my car the shifter bushings that were included were for an Integra shift linkage (which I had with my B18C1 swap) but would be an issue if you still have your D-series tranny/linkage. The only other bushings are steering rack bushings that might differ (I was using a GS-R rear subframe and steering rack so they worked for me). Eh, long story short, get the Integra setup.
