Default New OEM suspension question on my EG2

Good day fine Honda friends. So I have a 95 del Sol si and I am doing a complete tear down and resto, and am now about to do ssuspension. Seeing as this car hasn't been driven in almost a decade (but sheltered) I just want to get it back to the road again and will eventually lower it the right way, but for now I am just going to buy a full new front and rear suspension kit with new rubber bushings seeing as an OEM bushing kit it nearly $260 (rubber)
((Side note- please do not reccomend ES or prothane.. I want rubber lol.. )) or I have found a few different 12-14 piece kits on 1aauto, rock auto, carparts.com, and even amazon for anywhere from $178-$229
  • Kit Includes: (2) Front Lower Ball Joints
  • Kit Includes: (2) Front Lower Control Arms
  • Kit Includes: (2) Front Outer Tie Rods
  • Kit Includes: (2) Front Upper Control Arms
  • Kit Includes: (2) Strut Bellows
  • Quantity: 12 Piece Set
  • Kit Includes: (2) Front Inner Tie Rods
Some kits have two bellows, some none
My question is more just asking personal advice and experience. Has Anyone purchased one of these kits or have any advice? I still have my entire stock front and rear suspension, bushings are just destroyed. Thanks for your time and help guys and gals!

There is also Hardrace and PIC for aftermarket bushing replacement kits.

I'd order the hardrace kit, and call it a day.

hardrace. they won't last as long as OEM. but they should be good for a while.

cheap aftermarket stuff won't last.

Decided to go with the PIC Suja1 kit. Going to do it myself and figured I'd clean and paint all my control arms and other suspension parts and whatnot... I'll create a new thread for it and post pictures and try to write up a clear diy. Thanks for the help and input guys. side note .. Since my birthday is coming up and I got a few extra dollars from it I decided to buy a Cometic Pro2000T top end kit also, so I'll be posting up those pics in the appropriate forum and it's own thread.
