Now I am just getting into suspension setups and this is what I created so far.

Omni rear upper and lower control arms
Omni front upper control arms
ES bushings in stock front lower control arms w/ Moog ball joints
ES bushings in trailing arms
Omni full coil over setup (not sure if I should get Sport or Street)
Megan racing rear lower bar
ES sway bar bushings for the front
Stock sway bar diameter
No sway bar in the back


What do you guys think? The car is a daily driver and does see some street pulls a:

 

It helps to tell us what car you have.

I would not get the ES control arm or trailing arm bushings, and take that money and put it towards an ITR rear swaybar with either ASR or Beaks subframe reinforcement (ASR only if it's going on a 96-00 Civic).

Polyurethane control arm bushings are known to crap out after only a year or two, even with regular greasing. If you don't grease them regularly, they'll be shot even sooner.

At the very least, don't put polyurethane in your trailing arm bushings. Those will bind up and not allow the trailing arm to move in the range of motion it was designed for.

 

Its in a 97 Civic DX. So your saying I should leave the rear trailing arm bushings alone. What should I do about the front lower control arms? Get new rubber bushings?

Does the rest of the setup look fine? Does that rear sway bar setup really worth it?

I found the ASR kit:

SO your saying just leave the trailing arms alone and front control arms alone and go with this? I atleast wanna replace the ball joints. Its a pet peeve of mine.

i'd also like to add, why not run PIC's Apex they run for as much as the omni's do.

Yep that's the one. Yes the sway bar will make a HUGE difference in the way your car handles. It will be immediately noticeable.

*EDIT ummm you better check to see if that includes the swaybar or not. One pic shows it and another one doesn't, so best to contact the seller to find out.

If your control arm bushings are worn, it would be best to replace them with OEM. If they're not that bad then don't even touch them for now.
