Okay, this is what I have so far for my suspension project on the DA:
-H&R Sport Springs (from TKE-teg on G2IC)
-KYB AGX Shocks (from gringo7718)
-Energy Suspension Master Kit (from shaun311, hasn't gotten here yet)
-KYB Strut Mount Kits (from tirerack.com)
I'm trying to go OEM Acura for the rear trailing arm bushings. If anybody has a part # for DAs, let me know. I hear it's possible to get the bushings instead of buying the whole arm.
As far as hardware goes, I'm gonna go OEM Acura as well. Hope it doesn't cost mad ca$h for nuts and bolts, but it probobly will.
I'm gonna go with SPC UPPER balljoint camber kits when I get the money, since I need new ones anyway. I hear that they're better than Ingall's.
What else should I look into? Am I missing anything? Any more bushings that should be replaced? I'm gonna do the sway bar ones later, but not right now. Thanks, guys!

you mean upper balljoint right? because SPC doesn't make a camber kit that replaces the lower balljoint.

RayB - Thanks, I'll look for that thread. Wish I would've found it earlier, as I was at the dealer today.
Armed Ferret - Hmm, whoops. Guess I mean the upper one then. I still need LBJ's though.
90integra05 - I figure since people have complained about the poly ones, and nobody has complained about the Honda ones, I'll go with the one that nobody has complained about (yet).

Thanks, guys. Keep the badass suggestions and comments coming.
