Well, Energy Suspension sells a complete kit. Usually it's good to change the LCA bushings, the sway bushings (if applicable), and the endlink bushings (if applicable).

You need 2 kits from energy suspension to do the front LCA's. You need the Front control arm kit and the Shock mount kit. That will cover all of your front end components.

that's a good idea, just replace most of the bushings on ur suspension, i bet most of them are toasted already. front LCA bushings, control arm.

#10 above

that's all i could think of right now. if you feel the need to get the spring mount rubber thing on the top to be replaced, #7 (f) #9 (r), get them as well.

there is only one master kit and it comes with everything need to swap out bushing except the rear trailing arm bushing (too muxh oversteer).

, i hear many people cry about how the poly bushing are to stiff for a DD. what a bunch of cry babies.

i have them on my 93 hatch (along with other new components), and i love them. the car rides like new and i have better control and feel when driving.

not only would i suggest replacing the bushings, but look into other components and see if they are worn, like the ball joints and tie rods.
