My car is 13 years old
THis is probably the first time I am changing the suspension
what else should I change
what bushings do i get
thanks
any heads up
btw I don't care about a camber kit
i will change the tires more

 

Go with some energy suspension bushings, the old ones will probably fall out in pieces when you change you struts and springs anyways, and i would suggest a camber kit, they can be had for cheap and it will save you money in the long run.

 

where can they be had for cheap
camber kits
everywhere i look they are 150!
Also what bushings
anybody have any sites or part numbers?

 

Yeah I agree about the camber kit..Not only will it affect tire wear, but handeling might not be up to snuff..Get a bigger Sway bar

 

check group buy center for camber kits, or ebay... the bushings http://www.energysuspension.com/

 

if you want cheap just buy 4 longer bolts and some washers for your upper control arm in the rear, then just rotate your wheels every oil change, but be sure to get an alignment, this will wear out tires faster than negative camber

 

i just replaced the struts, springs, upper control arms, lower ball joints, iner and outer tie rod ends, while i was redoing the brakes front and rear, swapping a d16 si motor and tranny with a centerforce stage 2 clutch, exhaust and both axles. iall this is in my beater car which is a 89 hatch. feels like a new car again! my other car has the hyperflex kit also and it makes a huge differance!

 

Since you have an older car-it is very important as others are suggesting to go over it very carefully. The rear trailing arms and LCA's will need new bushings, just to tighten the handling up. The upper link can be replaced with a Honda part using rubber. You should not use poly bushings except for the inner and outer ends of the LCA's and trailing arms in the rear since, I assume, this is a street machine. Replace ALL of the bushings for the sway bars with poly. That is basically all you will need to do for the rear. You will check the ball joints, but they too should be OK. Up front-use rubber bushings for the control arms and links. The only exception I have on my CRX is the radius rod bushings-which are not so simple to reach.
As for Camber Kits-depends on how much you are lowered as to which to get. IF you plan on racing in Improved Touring the rules require that you use a shim type of kit in the rear and "eccentric" type bushings (Specialty Products) up front. The rear is very reasonably priced as are the front pieces. I got my stuff including the Energy Suspension bushings from Ultra Performance in Tucson-great pricing and service. Just my experience, with our 89 CRX Si.

 

i agree with the bushing suggestion
