    I had an entire shop full of tools. Still replaced the TA's. Seemed quicker, plus the parts were meant for each other instead of crossing them over. Not to mention the wider rear stance looked good in my opinion, but it will cause the owner to consider rolling...

    Replace your bushings while you have the bastards out. It's easy as hell, and not expensive at all...

    Yes, you'll need the DA Ebrake cable. CHECK THE USED ONES YOU HAVE VERY VERY CLOSELY FOR THEIR QUALITY! If money is manageable...replace them.

    You probably bought those off me? I sold alot on here...had like six sets I sold total.

    The trailing arm bushings are a PITA. That is the main reason I kept my civic control arms. I bought the tool to replace them, but the DA ones are a different size and the tool is of no help. That and I had to roll my fenders to fit my wheels even with the civic arms, if i would have kept the DA ones i would have needed to pull the heck out of them or ziz wheel the lip off.
