that definitely sounds like a good setup. KYB AGXs are awesome. you might want some strut bars too though.

Ya the strut bars will definetaly be added later. but i dont have the extra cash for it at the moment so its gonna have to wait another month or two. I will probably also add sway bars in a couple of months too.

o ya new bolts for all the rear suspension... the bolt on the rear camber/spindle, and all 3 bolts on each LCA in the rear. you can always take them back after the swap and get your money back. also plenty of antiseize on all the rear bolts

I knew about the 3 for each LCA, and I already hae them, but which bolt are you talking about for the rear camber/spindle?

Is that thebolt that mounts the camber arm to the trailing arm, or the camber arm to the body?

o ya thats what its called the trailing arm. that bushing was seized on my 99 as well on both sides, one had to be cut off and LUCKELY the other one actualy busted loose after full PSI after triggering it for ruffly a minute! i was sure that sucker was gonna snap but it actualy busted loose i was so re leaved!!!!!!
i hate cuting out seized bushings!!!!!

tho the LCA bolts will fit that bushing as well but the bolt is longer, but so far at least with my 17inch rims it all clears. i just keep forgeting to order the new bolt since it works and ive been driving on it for over a month now.LOL

come on man the bolts are only 80 cents on majestic honda parts (hondaautomotiveparts.com)

but anyway I will definetely get a couple of those as well then since they're cheap.

and heres a picture of the only major parts I have. It's the front lower arms that I bought at a junkyard. I already cleaned them up, got all the gunk off of them and repainted them so they look better. Of course I still have to get the new bushing pressed in, but thats gonna have to wait till i get the bushing kit in.

Edit: changed the pic to a better quality one

well I got everything ordered today so hopefully it should all come in within the next week or so.

the only change i have made is that I am no longer going to put in the rear lower control arms right now. Instead I am just going to get the shock bushing replaced with the urethane one that comes in the energy suspension kit.

I will keep everyone up to date and get some pics up as soon as everything comes in
