Default What other suspension parts should I replace in my 14 year old car?

It's a '93 Civic Hatch. It has an H22 swap that is fully built and all motor. It should be putting down around 250 whp. The battery has been relocated to the rear to help with weight distribution.

Just wondering if there is anything else I should replace supension-wise like bushings, etc. I have no real goals with this car, it won't be a drag racer, I dont auto X or road race. I just want a good competent setup for spirited canyon and mountain runs

Here's what is bought or what I'm planning to get.

Omnipower Front/Rear Camber Kit
Omnipower Front/Rear LCA's
Import Builders Springs 300/400 lb spring rates, 1.5" drop (iirc, not sure)
Full Race Traction bars
Tokico Blues Shocks
Front wheel bearings

I also have a Ebay set of strutbars, but not sure if I should use them or if they would do any good.

Thanks for any inputs guys

sounds like a real nice setup. i havethe same year but with a built b18. whats wrong with ebay strut bars? dont get me wrong i know there are some shitty ebay parts but i mean its just a strut bar im sure they work fine. how are your tires? with a suspension and power like that youll need some good tires to get the most out of what you already have. I have Energy suspension bushings, and id say get em. your bushings are old anyway and while your doing a complete suspension makeover why not do them too. its a little bit of a pain gettin some of the old bushings out but waaay worth it. good luck

For tires, I have set of Mugen RnR's with 205/50 R15 Falken Azenzis, and a set of Rota Slipstreams with 225/50 R15 Kuhmo Ectstras for the rear, 225/50 R15 BFG G-Force KD's
