as far as i've been able to determine, the bushings for all civics, 88
through 2000 & all integras, 90 through 2001 are the same. look for new
stuff without the ageing - anything as old as your car will be shot.
that major trailing arm assembly is the same for civics & integas as
well. if you can find a recent one that's been crashed, those are a
good donor. just swap out the backing plates where the brakes mount
'cos they'll be a different size to your 91. i posted how to do that in
a thread titled "civic big brake upgrade - pt II". if the donor has
disks, you can probably sell the the disk plates for what you buy the
trailing arms for and get free bushings. and if you /really/ want to go
nuts, swap out your old trailing arms to urethane bushings and sell them
as an upgrade kit to a ricer for a small profit. blah.
