Don´t know if this is the right place, please move the thread if there is a better option :)

I did this just for fun actually, but maybe there is some one out there that finds it useful?

As the topic says it is the removal of my old dry bushings and the install of new spherical bearing kit from Password:JDM.

The swedish talk in the beginning is me saying that the old bushings where so rotten that i pulled the "rubber" part out with my bare hands. But the metal ring needed some more power :P

Quick review of the product
Very very tight feeling to it, but i wonder how new OEM would have felt.
Needs to be greased every week or so to avoid noise from metal to metal.
For a track car, there is no option. For a street car? Don´t even consider these! Go with OEM CR-V instead. When these are worn out or if i buy another Civic that would be my choice.

Thanks for reading :)
I hope you noticed the youtube link? When are Civic-eg.com gona get embedded youtube?

They are as stiff as the Mugen bushings but at a fraction of the cost :)
