Have any of you's heard of this
Im so glad i didnt tackle this nightmare myself with a few buddies. i think i made the right decision getting my springs and shocks installed by trusted professionals at E-shift performance in NJ. so apparently this is a common problem with hondas especially ones that are almost 10 years old. so ive heard from the tuner shop and other ppl i work with. arite heres the issue. the bushings connecting the lower control arms and the rear shocks are ceased. which means there hard as a fucking rock and need to be replaced (to keep it in simple terms). so since i work at a honda dealer luckily i have the resources to get parts quick with a discount. so the bushings and the bolts going through the bushings are ordered through my dealership and should be in by thrusday. so my BABE is sitting in a garge full siiiiick JZA-70 and 80 chasis supras and 2jz-gtte swapped lexus IS's and ridicoulous hondas and other toyotas. there probaly making fun of her right now lol , but the front suspension is done and he replaced the 3 13mm bolts going into my cat-converter from my stock exhaust, he still is charging me 200 bills for everything. and considering my car is stuck on a lift taking up space, its probaly not that bad. sorry for the RANT. once Ghost is on the road ill def. get some pics. i hope the drop is significant, or all this would be a waste. lol

happened to me when i got my suspension done..
here's a closely related question:
ive noticed the inside of my tires are wearing out much faster than the rest of the tread, so im assuming i need a camber kit, even though i have a prokit.
a big deciding factor in getting my prokit was that i wouldnt need to spend all that money fixing the camber, and now im stuck with this problem anyway.
so ive decided to get some coilovers soon and get rid of my current set up.
if im going to do this myself, will i face this same bushing problem, or will it have been fixed and make my job easy?

Both my bolts broke, and destroyed my bushings getting the rest of the bolt out.
Started on a Sat. night, and had to wait till Mon. morning to get the parts.

I'd also like to know which bushings and bolts are the ones that might give me problems. Will OEM replacements be alright? What advantages do you get from going to an aftermarket bushing kit, like the one Energy Suspension sells?
