Started fitting new rear LCA bushings. This should make the rear feel much more responsive at Autocross.

Here is the finished product. I still need to use the vice to properly seat the bushings into the new sleeves.

Nice work. How you removed the old one? Burn and cut casing?

When I was changing the LCA on Sat i noticed the left rear shock had oil leaking. A good buddy of mine Kern had 2 KYB AGX used at his place, after sweet talking him i cut a deal and now there are on the civic. Feels better than the worn out tokico. Here are some pics of the install.
Leaking strut:
Used KYB AGX:
LCA dropped for the swap:
Struts side by side:
Fitted new ES bushings to the top hats:
Ground control spring and adjuster:
Mounted and fitted:

Fitted to the rear. Settings are at 6 right now.
Here is a vid of the shock being scraped. This was the right side, it is still good as can shown by the compression and rebound.

Service done for Autox 5 this weekend. Engine oil, Gear oil, new plugs, clean filter, clean TB. Feels good to wrench.
Also got my car number and blood type done at Street Concepts in Arima. Offical racer now.
