Energy Suspension bushing kits
Current setup:
99 civic ex, stock engine, I/H/Si muffler, 216,xxx miles
Tokico Illuminas
Eibach Sportlines
22mm USDM ITR rear sway bar
ASR Subframe brace
16x7 +4x wheels with 205/45 S. Drives
My suspension components are worn. A little creak and clunking here and there. I was looking at the ES master bushing kit and it's just way too much for me. Both cost and bushing wise. So I was wondering if there are any specific bushings I should look at replacing. I was thinking the rear sway bar bushings since they're OEM rubber. Anything else?
Edit - Or is it just better to get new motor mounts (OEM, I don't need poly for performance and I certainly don't need the vibrations for a DD) and the poly rear sway bar bushings.

You can buy seperate bushing sets.
Like if you would just want front LCA's or trailing arms.
I have ES bushings on my SI sway bars front and rear in my car. I have no problems with them.
Personaly, I would never buy the master kit. It comes with stuff that I don't want.

First thing your going to want to do is figure where the creaks and clunking are coming from and if it's just a couple bushings buy brand new from Honda because I don't think it would make sense to have poly bushing on your left side LCA and not on the right(for example), I see that screwing around with your steering and handling.
I would never put one part in one side and another in the other side. When I fix things, I get it done the right way the first time
.
I think I'll just stick to sway bar bushings, new end links, and new motor mounts. My engine rocks like crazy causing my car to jerk a lot when I let off/press the gas.
