It doesn't surprise me that you had trouble even with the part number(s). I've heard the same thing from several people and the process they go through to get the actual part is always slightly different. $25/per is definitely the best price I've heard for them-- nice find!

I don't know what your plans are for the car Eric, or if you're going to be driving it on the road, but FWIW, here's what I'd do if I were building an ITA EG for club racing.

- Delrin bushings at the control arms, offset at the upper arms, inboard location, for more negative camber
- Spherical bearings at the swaybars and the rear trailing arm
- If your rules allow it (IT does not), adjustable toe compensator links up top for the rear suspension (SPC used to make a pretty nice pair that was affordable)

Hmmm, I like the sounds of a couple of those ideas...

This is just going to be returned to "fun street car" status. It is not my daily driver anymore, and it has been run hard and put away wet.

It is an impressive resume: I bought the car from a student at NCSU who flogged it around Raleigh, he had gotten it from his mother who used it to tow a trailer around Asheville delivering flowers! I then proceeded to drive it to Minnesota, and Michigan and PA to rallies, where it then chewed its way down stage roads to help retrieve broken rally cars a few times.

It kinda wanders down the road in vague way now, and I just want to show it alittle love and tighten it back up.

I'm thinking about putting on a rear sway bar to play with for awhile too. I think that the rear bar off any Integra of the same vintage will fit... Is that right?

I think that's right - but, I also don't think many of them are going to serve you any real purpose. The only one worth bothering with, assuming it fits, is the Integra Type R one, which is 22mm.

The stock rear bar on my old GS-R was ridiculously thin - may as well have tied a piece of rope between the two control arms, for all the good it must have been doing.

I've got the stock rear bar off my 93 Integra you are welcome to use for test fitting.
