...Hi...
Ok well, i'm looking to complete my swap soon in my (94 hatch cx) and one of the next things i'm looking to improve upon is my brakes/suspension. I already have the conservative/daily driver tokico blues/h&r springs setup right now, but I need a few questions answered.
1. Is there a real difference between the 3rd gen tegs, and the 5th gen civic suspension. I mean mainly the LCA's, UCA's, etc. I plan on doing the entire brake swap down the line but for right now, I wanted to know if there is a difference between the two. I'm pretty sure I need tie rods and such but I just heard that they are replaced (tie-rods, arms) due to bushings wearing out and such. So I hear about energy suspension bushings and the whole masterkit. So if I just replace all the bushings and ball joints with the ES poly-urethane ones, the old parts will be like brand new? Or, do I need to buy new parts and then install the bushings and stuff? I only ask about the integra suspension because I wanted to know if it was worth installing that kit on the civic suspension or just completely swapping it w/ the teg along with the brakes.
Basically i'm trying to budget my money and get the most bang for the buck, at the same time effectively upgrading things on my civic.
