Default DA suspension rebuild

hey HT a few months ago i purchased a 92 integra da9 as my new dd and i have to say i love it, but with 282k on the clock the stock suspension is a little more than just tired. hopefully i can rebuild it parts as follows

progress cs2 coilovers
energy suspension master bushing kit ( i have herd hardrace bushings would be better but cant seem to find a full kit for the da )

those are my only 2 for sure items thus far

when i looked into my repair manual (haynes cough cough) it says to replace the upper control arm when replacing the upper ball joint and yet when i search on the internet i see people just replacing the ball joint so im a lil confused

anyway i plan to replace all balljoints as well so i am looking for recommendations for good oe replacement brands.

i'm also considering replacement top hats as im not sure what might need replaced on my stock one or where to purchase replacement pieces

im sure theres a bunch of stuff that ive missed so any help is appreciated

I'm sure its been covered plenty of times man... try the search function maybe.
I hear mixed reviews about the ES kit. If you don't mind a little stiffer and possibly louder ride, go for it. Don't forget those need to be greased on a regular basis also.
As for the UCA I've heard the whole thing has to be replaced as you can't get bushings. But I wouldn't know since mine came with a camber kit on it already..
If you are getting.rubber bushings I would try to run OEM ones or mugen just for added security. I'm sure there are good oe style ones but is rather not be the test monkey lol ya know? Hope that at least helps a little bit.
