If your rear trailing arm bushings are fucked, that can have something to do with getting the rear toe right. (I've never actually done an alignment on a car, but my friend who does them told me, and it kinda makes sense I think.)

Nah, they're pretty much brand new and solid poly bushings at that lol. I think one of the arms is bent, but it's still kinda close enough for me not to care. :P

Sounds good. If it's not broke, don't fix it. (Something I should have done with my tranny on my car...)

I need to invest in some of those bushings for my 245k mile oem bushings on the civic...I'm kinda dreading the replacment of them.

You'd be surprised at how much of a difference new bushings will make, especially if it's got really sloppy handling.
And speaking of handling, can we say holy oversteer batman...those front spindles seem to amplify the amount of oversteer my car had before, but it holds rock steady through the corners like I've never felt in that car before. Corners I would take at a max of 45-50mph I'm now able to shoot through at 65+. Takes a little getting used to, especially in a straight line down the highway (it's very sensitive to the littlest steering wheel movement), but all in all this is one of the best upgrades I've done in a while.

That's strange. There must be some reason why it does that relating to the alignment you have. I know my friends Mazdaspeed Protege that has 17s from the factory has almost that kind of handling, even with its factory spec'd alignment. I never really had that problem w/my Hondas at all.

My car does handle like ----, but it's probably due to the all-season and mis-matching front to rear 13s on the Vx wheels...
I remember what a huge upgrade adding 17s onto my old accord was. If I ever want my car not to slide through turns, it needs better tires first. I might upgrade those bushings though just so I can get a decent toe alignment on my car so it tracks straight perfectly.
