Opinion on Suspension
I am in the process of restoring an EG SI. I am going to completely re-do the suspension on the car and am trying to figure out what way I want to go - replace all the bushings or just replace the entire part.
I can get a whole front end kit from Mevotech or similar for like $400-$500...OR... i can take it all apart and just put new bushings in. I am not 100% sure of the state of most of the suspension parts (if LCA's or UCA's are bent etc.), they look fine but I haven't had this thing aligned since I bought it.
Putting money aside, which way would you proceed? All new parts? Or just re-bush it?
If you suggest replace it all, which brand would you recommend. (NOTE: I am not going for a full-race setup, I want a balance of comfort and performance).

Bumped from the dead lol
It is a 92. FWIW I ended up redoing the entire car with Hardrace rubbers bushings and Hardrace adjustable UCA's up front. Kept original OEM LCA as they were good. Went with the classic Koni Yellow's with GroundControl coils. (440/350 rates).
