Hey, I am getting ready to redo all of my suspension, Struts, Springs (which i have) prelude arms, Chamber kits, New Bushing, CV Joints, SE-i Rear disk brakes EVERYTHING...

Anyways i need to get all my parts and there is one thing i cant find and it is bushing kits mine are like all shot my rear ones are squeaking really bad I gave them some WD-40 and other stuff and it helped for like 3 days and it came back and its just killing me so im gonna replace them too... So where do i get them? I would like aftermarket but I read some of the forums and i think you guys said they dont make any for our cars, So where can i get OEM replacement ones? i tryed a few honda dealers site but they didnt list any, I havent tryed autozone or anything like that yet but i didnt think they would have them....

I tryed to do a search and didnt come up with much, Sorry if this had been already posted, I'm still a noob here lol :P

You can get the bushings from Honda. This place gives 25% off list:

Get a shop manual and note the torque specs and what bushings get greased before install. It's too late afterwards.

If you have non-oem springs to put in, read up in the suspension posts here. Different springs require different shock damping specs. If you don't get it right, the car will either be like a coal cart, or it will be like a pogo stick. Neither will make you happy, particularly if you've dropped big bucks on everything else. Me - I went through two revalvings of a front set of Bilsteins before it was just right with the Eibach Pro-Kits. I'm happy now (real happy), but it wasn't cheap. Adjustable Koni's would be the way to go, but they're out of production.

Learn to use the search function, and then do a few hours of reading. It's cheap tuition.

Good luck.
