Default Planning to upgrade suspension! Got a couple of questions.

Hey, i got a 98 civic hatchback with around 150k on it, so its time for the old suspension to go. I'm planning to get koni/gc setup in the near future, so ive been wondering there's something that needs to be replaced(LCAs/bolts/etc???) while i'm replacing the springs/shocks. I know i should probably do bushings, but thats out of my budget at this time, but ill def do it by the end of the year.

I was thinking about going with 375/325 f/r rates, could anyone comment if this is a good setup for a daily. Thanks!

good low spring rates for the street.

rear lower contorl arm shock bolts usually are siezed up when coming from a stock car. New lower shock bushing usually need to be replaced along with it.
