These are the bushings that your gonna replace, and trust me, its well worth the $55.
Ill have to say, no go on the install write up for here, but if you guys want to be a sponsor over on G20.net for a mear $24 a year, the how to is in the sponsors section
Does that entire rear section have to come out in order to change those bushings? What will be the benefit for changing them?
From what it looks like, it helps maintain proper rear toe and caster under extreme driving conditions. It's really needed when using larger than stock tires and wheels

You dont have to drop the whole axle, but it definatley helps...plus all the work you have to do, might as well take the time and remove 4 more bolts to drop the whole axle.
read this thread for my feed back on them - http://www.g20.net/forum/showthread.php?t=32594 , if you want more feed back become a sponsor on G20.net and read the how to and reviews in the sponsor section.

Come on....for $55 your getting 1) improved bushings, 2) a greater load area, and 3) kick ass handling upgrade. Thats a VERY small price to pay for what your getting. I dont stand behind many products, but these I truly believe in because they work.
To install these, a 2" hole saw and torch is recomended and your average tool set will suffice. Takes about 4 hours all said and done.

You can get factory replacements 55045-4B000, but they are 16.00 each. so a few bucks more and you have the superpros.

I just put these in my 96 SE-R w/ GC/AGX 380/300, f/r stb, f/r progress swaybar, lca brace and bushings. and beam bent by Westend
Immediate impressions:
I feel more connected with what the rear tires are doing. Before, there would be a little bit of sway or shift while the car took a set in a corner. I couldn't get a real read on the tires until the car took a set.
Now I can get feed back on what the tires are doing as the car takes a set.
I like them
I still haven't driven enough for a full review, but I will have them on the track in about a month. I'll report back then.
The OEM bushing is unique. It has a rubber cylinder shaped sleeve that lines the inside of the trailing arm end. Inside this sleeve is a semi football shaped rubber bushing with a steel sleeved center for the bolt. The football is attached to the outer rubber sleeve by a 3/8" ring/ridge of rubber.
That means the actual load bearing surface of the OEM bushing is only 3/8" !
Add that to the tapered ends of the inside portion and you have quite a bit of slop. This slop allows the end of the trailing arm to move around quite a bit. I'd say that the OEM bushings would actually allow the rear end thrust angle to change during cornering.
The SuperPro bushings fill the entire inside of the trailing arm end, so you go from a 3/8" soft bushing to a 2"+ stiffer bushing. No more shifting trailing arm ends.
Once you see the OEM bushing, buying a set of these SuperPros will be a no brainer. Get Them!
