Default Anything else for Suspension?

Hey Guys,
I just bought my first ever project car (2000 Ls) and I am shopping for suspension, just wanted to double-tap and see if there was anything major I was forgetting. I will be doing most of the work myself.

I got 137500 on the car now so I will be buying bushings as well. Thats all Im looking for, is a mild street setup. My goal is 350-400 hp after I do the engine or mini me swap, havnt decided yet, and boost it along with a few other things. I just want something to hit the highway and stretch it out sometimes and do a little street driving

you need to do alot of research. there is no mini swap on an integra, and you cant just "boost it" and get 400hp. gl

No but you can swap to a b16 head or a b18c head and after rebuilding the guts and boosting can be around 250-275 hp so it definitely possible to reach 400hp

Yeah well if you have a 400hp Honda with fat *** sway bars, that doesn't seem very streetable. I mean anything can be, but that would be a monster. 400hp is a lot in a Honda. What size sway bars are you going with? Is that why you are choosing mugen or just cuz the name? Also, I would maybe re think the password jdm kit. I don't know the quality of their bushings.. But their customer service and quality lately has been ****.

They have 24 and 26 sway bars. And the first rule is always you get what you pay for. I havnt dealt with password jdm yet so I dont have any experience with the customer service

I would flip those rates around. As in 400F and 450R. Either way, you're at the limit of Koni Yellows with those rates.
