S2? Pass.
Don't know what "front/rear trailing arms" is supposed to mean. There are no "front" trailing arms on these cars.
Strut bars? Most are useless unless they are one piece. Why do you need them?
Sway bars? Why do you need them?

Re: Beefing up the suspension on my EG
I'd pass on anything and everything from Skunk2. Go with quality, ground control coilovers/ koni yellow shocks, AMR coilovers, Progress, etc... What are you plans for the car? just a daily to beat on or are you gonna take it to the track/auto-x?

Re: Beefing up the suspension on my EG
Me personally on my 96 hatch i'm running ground control coilovers/koni yellow shocks, front and rear strut bars, rear x bar and an si 13mm rear sway bar with some very sticky yokohamas. It's a daily driver and its very fun to drive. Probably not the most amazing, but canyon carving is EXTREMELY fun and not too much oversteer. Just a little something to give you an idea of what you may want/need, but in the end its all driver preference/individual setup

Re: Beefing up the suspension on my EG
Craigslist and ebay are decent sources if you look for quality parts and don't buy replica/chinese crap. Weksos Industries, ICB motorsports, password jdm, and the honda-tech market place is a good place to start
