Befor i bought my RX7 (91) i had an 92 integra. it was a very time consuming project. But OH MY GOD did i feel the difference. Im gonna be purchasing one for my rx7 here in a couple of weeks. Basically. you need to take one control arm off at a time. replace bushings one by one. Depending on the time and how much money you have, will depend on how your going to do this. With my teg, we did not have a press and the bushings were pressed in. We had to drill holes through the RUBBER BUSHING ONLY. When the hole is big enough for a jig saw bit to fit through, cut the metal peice that surrounds only the bushing enought to where you can pound it out with a hammer and chizzle. Be careful not to saw into your control arm, cuz obviously, that can cause some problems. It would be easier with a lift, but a jack and some jackstands will do. Just remember that this is a very long process. If you have the money, go to a press shop, but i will tell you that they are going to bend you over and rape you for each press. All in all, it will take a good 8hrs to do your entire car. but trust me if you think your car can handle now, you'll **** your pants when you notice the difference.
