Default mugen bush fitment

I recently bought a full set of mugen bushes for the S and have a question on the upper arm bushes. These come in a pack of 8 bushes and I thought it would be 2 bushes in each upper arm.

Mine is an 05 and the bushes don't fit the upper rear so should all 8 bushes go on the front upper or does the kit only fit the pre facelift.

Anyone else had this?

You shouldn't need to replace the upper bushes to be honest. The bolts in the uppers don't usually seize.

The upper wishbones at the rear are different to the pre-facelift cars. This might be why they don't fit.

I'm replacing the bushes because some are worn. The upper rears were actually changed last year for std Honda ones but if the mugen ones were part of the kit.....

Just trying to check if all 8 should go on the front or not.

Mugen only makes bushings for ap1/pre-facelift. If you have an ap2/facelift then you would only use 4 of the 8 in the front Arms

Thanks afzan, I did think that was the case when I ordered them. Have thrown it back to the supplier.
