Default 4th gen prelude suspension tune-up help

Hello. I have a 1992 honda prelude Si 4ws with 174,000 miles on it. Needless to say, it could use a little TLC in all departments. I decided to get my feet firmly on the ground before doing other modifications. I would greatly appreciate a point in the direction of other things that may need to be replaced/atleast looked at. So far I've replaced the front driverside wheel bearing, both front upper control arms, and both lower control arm ball joints for the front. I have found several bushings that are cracked/broken, so I'll be getting a kit soon. Also I will be getting new shocks/struts and springs (I realize the debate on this subject, I will continue to use the handy dandy search feature to decide on those). If there are things I haven't mentioned that could possibly be worn and in need of replacement, I would love to know about it.

If it helps at all, the car is a daily driver. It will not see an autox and no more than a couple trips to the strip a year. It won't be lowered more than .5".

pretty much got it. bushings, new shocks should be enough.

the bushing part is pretty complex though. there are a lot of bushings.

also, if you're going with a polyeurethane bushing kit, the ride quality will suffer some.
