verify bushing sizes/LCAs please.
I have a few poly bushings here and there, but I decided to go for the whole shebang so I'm ordering the ES full bushing kit.
I have gsr rear LCAs, and I know they have different bushing dimensions than the civic RLCAs. So I was figuring I'd just get the integra master bushing kit, since as far as I know, all the other bushings (a-arms, boots, shock bushings, etc...) are the same. The only hitch is, I have civic Si FRONT LCAs, and I'm not sure if the bushing dimensions on these are the same as the teg.
So basically, I need to know if the civic Si LCAs (swaybar compatible) are IDENTICAL to the integra ones. I know theyre interchangable, but I need to make sure the teg bushings will fit into the civic FLCA.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, they are all interchangeable. The only thing I noticed that was different was the steering rack bushing won't work with a manual rack (the rack is physically a different diameter than a power one), everything else is interchangeable.

This is good stuff to know.
I ordered the Civic Master Bushing Kit and have the front end all done. I'm about to start on the rear and do my disc conversion at the same time. So will all of the bushings from my Civic kit fit the Integra rear assembly(i.e. control arms etc.)
I just ordered the bushings for the trailing arms so I'll be all bushing'd out with a new suspension here shortly.
If you're interested here's some pics of the front end suspension that I did already...

Sorry for the huge pics
One last thing... they forgot to include the clear silicone lubricant that is usually supplied with the kit so I called ES and the Tech there said that it would actually be better for me to use a Blue Marine Grease from the local Auto Parts store. He said it holds up much much better and is very very very water resistent.
Of course if you got the black bushings then there's not so much to worry about since they have graphite embedded in the pigment which helps to lubricate.
