Suspension refresher advice
 
hey guys, just got an 89 vert and looking to refresh the suspension because its shot

so far i bought coilovers, s4 front lower control arms, and new balljoints for them. im also planning on buyin the camber adjustment bar

what else should i change while im in there? was thinking of doing bushings but seen soo many different opinions on what to use. my car is goin to be loowwwww and i will need the camber adjustment and such. im thinking goin with an ES bushing kit.

I have been using the prothane bushing kit and really like it. Really all you need is front and rear LCA bushings and sway bar bushings. Another solid recommendation is to either replace the dtss bushings with mazdatrix eliminators, or oem replacements. If they're worn out, it can make driving pretty wild. I still have the original ones on my 199k mile chassis, but they're not worn out. Most importantly, I don't think 99% of drivers ever really push the car in to turns that hard to ever get the 'benefits' of dtss. Just read the mazdatrix FAQ, get yourself informed, and make an educated decision.

Also, not all coil overs are created equal. As I have found out, not all struts are either. Go cheap and you will most definitely notice a lot of 'slammed civic' bounce.
