Default First-time Honda owner 98 Civic DX

Hey everyone... first-time Honda owner, courtesy of a friend who gifted me his car, whcih I have since been gradually, lightly modifying. I am far from new to the world of small and fun Japanese cars, or fun drives on twisty roads. Just Hondas I'll be browsing tech primarily, I have a few plans for my EK, but nothing too crazy yet.

Priorities are handling, bolt-on power gains, and eventually, braking, once the car transitions from commuter to autocross.

Currently has Skunk2 FLCAS, Hart adjustable RUCAs, poly trailing and compensator arm bushings, poly torque mounts, Megan Racing short throw shifter with solid mount and poly stabilizer. 15in 5 spoke alloys with 195/55/15 tires

Stock EX swaybars with poly bushings coming up, currently exploring a mini-me and EX transmission swap.

Welcome to Honda-Tech.

Glad you are enjoying your Honda. I would recommend HardRace trailing arm bushings. Those bushings are the main ones that need some give. Poly tends to just get ripped and torn in that spot. If you insist on poly, look for non solid ones for the trailing arm bushings less you be doing those bushing a lot sooner a 2nd time than later.
