installing the new shocks… Will be installing the GC coilovers + Koni shocks soon replacing the stock ones. What are the other stuff that can be done/replaced while doing this installation? I mean like any bushings etc ?

Btw it’s for a daily driven, week-end Auto-x Integra GSR

Thanks

You can modify your top hats if you're going lots lower... replace your rear trailing arm bushings if they are shot..?

You can do the bushings but they need to be pressed in and out. Just a warning.... Your rear damper bolts will probably be frozen into the bushings. They will probably need to be replaced anyway. You could always roll in yoru fender lips while you are at it. If you do lower it and get wider wheels and tires, you will rub.

If your going to instal a ITR swaybar with something like a beaks kit, it would be alot easier to do it when you have the suspension apart.

IMO, installing new shocks doesn't require enough disassembly to warrant trying to find things to do.

- you don't have to disconnect brake lines
- you don't have to remove any suspension arms

I mean, the difference between a bushing install on an assembled car and a bushing install on a car you've removed a few bolts on is next to nothing.

If anything, I would think about what your camber needs might be. Maybe you want to throw a couple washers under the rear upper arms to add a little positive camber back in. Other than that, I would just inspect some things like bushings, boots and bearings while you're under there to see what might need some work.
