Default 97 dx suspension

Im looking to upgrade my 97 civic dx with an LS motor. I dont want to go broke doing so, but i also want something worth putting into it. I was looking at some suspension kits thinking maybe id save money. Does anybody have any suggestions or concerns with them? or if you know a website or company i could order and piece it together from that wouldnt break the bank thatd work too. how is this kit? http://www.autoanything.com/suspensi...A6569A0A0.aspx THIS IS ALSO MY DAILY DRIVER

looking for what type of kit? Energy suspension sells bushings, you can get plenty of variety of coilovers from the marketplace, or new online.

To be honest, this is where the old saying "you get what you pay for" comes in. To be honest, for a daily if you don't want to spend much money, leave it stock or find springs with a 1" drop. Get all new bushings all around and an oem sway bar set up. DO NOT BUY CHEAP **** unless you want to pay three times as much learning the hard way. My suspension set up on my daily is about $1,800 and I'm still not fully content.

Stickies. Go read them. They're there for a reason. There's a huge section of the stickies dedicated to suspension talk.

Do it once and do it right. I recommend Progress CSII coilovers, I'm running 350f/350r spring rates and it's awesome for a DD. They are $600 shipped in the marketplace.
