Budget tip for those really down on the dollar, just fill the air space gap within stock bushing with permatex rubber. U just inject it in from a calking gun. Once it hardens, voila! Solid rubber mount and u can do it while on the car!

whilst that can work, there isn't anything to bond to and the additional urethane will fall out

Along with these upgrades, the other change that made the most noticable difference for me was installing an Integra rear sway bar(Si/CTR works too).

Those of us in the states don’t know how lucky we are to have so much flexibility with road rules & regulations. Having the freedom to experiment with our cars with little consistence really is a slice of freedom considering all the other things that US citizens complain about when they say the US is not as liberal as it used to be. However here in South Fl we are the most popular state when it comes to the car culture and we’re the biggest domain when it comes to the automotive market both amateur and business.

The urethane ones bind up and tear out. Use the oem style. They need to bend in multiple axes not just rock back and forth due to honda's dynamic toe setup. P.s. Urethane works literally EVERYWHERE else on a civic/crx/crv tho, so go ahead and buy a kit.

OEM are the best for trailing arms, and fine anywhere tbh. I do think the Energy kit is worth the hassle if you drive really hard on sticky tires. I say let a shop with a press do it for you in a few minutes. Puting the new ones in is way easier DIY. Or be like me and buy a press.

[@dandingerat]

nolathane and whiteline are owned by the same company, so that's why the rear trailing arm bushings and even their instruction manuals are identical, apart from colour. you were right to say that they were probably made at the same factory.

[@TURBOTRISTO]

yeah I did know that but wanted to be vague in the video some people get funny about brands

[@dezertdime1072]

I wouldn't suggest the bushings and here's my reasoning why the factory is very pliable and going in corners its gonna give way the aftermarket spherical bearings are solid but the bearing gives no resistances the poly urethane are a lot stiffer and when you go into the corners it'll hold hold hold then snap back kind of like axle wrap on a solid rear axle i like poly for every other bushing on the car except the trailing arms i seriously think it could cause someone to wreck if they dont know its gonna snap in a corner

[@TURBOTRISTO]

These are the bushings of choice for all racers, whiteline suspension are all very smart engineers and racers they sell the best gear for making cars handle better they are world class and all have university degree’s I’m Sure they know what’s is best

Great video. If you lower your car or run bags, it rips those bushings up pretty fast. I did the energy ones, pain in the ass to press in with the arms still in the car. I used a long bolt and two pieces of wood to do it, they went in sideways 10 times until it finally just popped in.

Isn't the center hole of the mini discs bigger than the civics? This is what take the load.

It’s slightly larger, there shouldn’t be any load on your brake rotors once they are clamped on to the hub with the rim they centre just like any other fully floating factory disc set up, it would be ideal if the hubs were tighter so it would limit the chance of someone locking down one lug with it off set and then doing the other 3 up off set, but you would have to be pretty careless to do that

The OGs used to tell me this would give me snap oversteer. Any one experience that? Fyi for the folks on a tight build budget you don't need the whole trailing arm to do the disc swap, you can just swap spindles it's just a few torx in the back.

[@TURBOTRISTO]

I have never had snap over steer, I think that is a myth , I’ve driven every Honda with every kind of rear bush and not noticed much difference

[@TheGabesable]

I just picked up an eg8 im going to give these shot thank you for your time. @@TURBOTRISTO

[@TheGabesable]

Update: I ended up using the energy suspension version of this bushing it was pretty simple to install. The car rides well.

[@joebrown9415]

So you don't need to change the front knuckle for the bigger brake calipers ?

[@TURBOTRISTO]

Yes you do on the base hatches but not on the sedan models

[@joebrown9415]

@TURBOTRISTO ok so I have a 97 hx coupe so I'd have to get the integra knuckles correct?

[@joebrown9415]

Or a ex or em1

[@joebrown9415]

@TURBOTRISTO and thank you for the reply man I appreciate that and for the info not many people will answer on KZbin but I'm pretty sure I know what I have to get so the mini Cooper rotars are just a lil bigger then the integra or ex roatars but too

[@TURBOTRISTO]

Mini Cooper are 282 sedan are 262 hatch are 238

[@shoestatus]

I poured mine with urethane mix

[@TURBOTRISTO]

How was it

[@a159ceo4]

Am sure they are 280mm the mini rotas and do you need shim spacers round the lug studs?

[@TURBOTRISTO]

No you don’t need to

I have a 1999 ex coupe. New to the car world. These mods works for it too?

[@TURBOTRISTO]

[@Gotham_City_collectibles]

Do you need to change the trailing arms when grabbing parts for this conversion. Or do you just need the rotor and all of that.

[@TURBOTRISTO]

Easier to do the whole trailing arm

[@TURBOTRISTO]

Disc rear has different hubs and everything

[@Gotham_City_collectibles]

@@TURBOTRISTO yeah I figured that. I was just wondering about the trailing arms cuz I have a 95 EX coupe and I did not know if I got the rear pieces from a Integra if I could just use those same trailing arms that's on my ex or if I have to use the Integra trailing arms. And I figured since you did it you'd probably know LOL

[@casperwolters20]

Does it have to be 17cn15vn brakes calipers or does other codes work aswell? Because i can’t find the 17cn15vn anywhere

Will this brake upgrade cause fitment issues with 15" wheels and a stock offset?

[@TURBOTRISTO]

I am told that it does fit behind the factory 15s, i am running 16s on my car and they clear fine, when i do the upgrade I will try slip on the stock rims and see how the clearance is

[@danielarnold7466]

Depending on the offset, you will need to test fit afterwards

[@mrsemifixit]

@@TURBOTRISTO Ok I must have some other issue going on. Do you know why the oem ones have one round bolt hole and the other oblong?

[@TURBOTRISTO]

its just for centering and to eliminate the possibility of it spinning, not that it would, most peoples biggest issue is overtightening the suspension whilst the car is in the air, all suspension components must be tighten'd up on the car when the car is at ride height to avoid taring the bushes

Is this applicable to US market Civic's? I hope so because it's detailed and I'd like to do this to my hatch

[@TURBOTRISTO]

G'day Carson, YES 100% everything is exactly the same for the usa market civics, and in my experience with suspension in USDM cars you really should spend a bit of time and some money changing all the bushes in your car, trust me it will drive and handle so nice

Hey guys anyone have issues with fitment with this? I tried it but I’m wondering if we have to change the actual spindle or knuckle because the 23T caliper bracket doesn’t clear the 280mm rotor. The bracket bolts right up by itself but doesn’t clear the rotor. Could it be the bracket itself? Thanks 🙏🏽

[@TURBOTRISTO]

this is for the rear man they are only 240mm rear

[@eddiecard]

@@TURBOTRISTO yes of course! Thank you for the quick response. I deff did the rears and they fit perfectly but I’m trying to do the front as well. I pulled off some cr-v rotors and brackets but they don’t clear the 280mm mini cooper rotors . I’ve seen other vids who say the knuckles need to be off an ex but this is going on a hatchback. Maybe the hatch has smaller knuckles vs the ex? I appreciate your response brother. Love your vids

[@TURBOTRISTO]

the CRV knuckles and hubs should bolt directly to an eg/ek and then you can use the same hubs and everything, failing that if you are using civic knuckles you need to use the 262 civic sedan or vtir em1or ek4 hubs the integra type r calipers or the crv calipers will bolt on and clear 280/282 rotors, easily i have 4 videos on this on my channel, on is the silver ek that i put this set up on that is in this video, the other is the first one on my black civic i think it was on the first start video, and the most recent one was the 5 stud conversion on my black civic i go into more detail and better explanations

[@eddiecard]

@@TURBOTRISTO ahh yes I saw your other vids! Thanks so much. I actually was able to find me some off the CR-v this afternoon and it made things a lot easier to assemble.

[@MrGrentch]

great tutorial on the brakes.🙂Subbed for more(I've a DC2 R, so just a fatter Civic. 😁). I agree 100% that regular inspection of that trailing arm bush is a must and replace if it looks iffy, but I'd respectfully disagree with sticking a poly bush in there. The OEM bush looks a bit crap because it's designed(several Honda patents on it) to be horizontally flexible so that the arm moves rearward under braking pulling the front of the trailing arm in adding toe in and stabilising the back end of the car under braking. This passive setup even allows for differences in forces between the two wheels. It's one big reason why these chassis have such a rep for handling/cornering. A poly seriously reduces this advantage(spherical loses it entirely). That said, if you're not on a track or driving like a demon you may not notice(I'm a meh driver so need all the help I can get) and a poly will certainly last longer.

[@TURBOTRISTO]
