Before you put the hubs and bearings on, just replace the studs with your arp extended ones. It would also be a good idea to get a small tack weld on each one just to make sure they dont slip or anything.


Honda or Mugen trailing arm bushings are your best bet for replacing them. As for who ever said honda doesnt sell them, I think you need to lay off the drugs. Ive been working at honda for a while now, and they are always in stock. They are used for more than just the civic. They fit in other models as well.

While your at it, might as well do the upgrade for the rear brakes too. 02 civic si 4 lug rotors and other needed parts, to get bigger rear rotors. Its been said to be a bolt on affair. Just have to search around a bit to find out what you need.

you sir are not understanding what i was saying, HONDA DEALERS do not list the trailing arm bushing as a separate part there for you cannot get them from a dealer. see link below

and, i think i'll wait to upgrade to bigger rotors on the rear.. i'm pretty sure they're bigger than my fronts :x

what can i do with these front dx 242mm's??? will the extended studs allow me to put on bigger rotors??
