well to save money i think im just going to re-use my stock lca's, and press in new engergy suspension bushings. is this a good idea? i really dont need aftermarket lca's since im not planning on nstalling a sway bar. and should i do both front and rear bushings?

"Screechhhhhhhhhh" project might come to an end. I might be buying an 07 honda civic lx sedan from my sisters friend. He got a second dui and can afford to make the payments on the car anymore and is willing to give it to my sister for the remainder of what he owes. Which is like 8500. The car has 54000 miles, kicker amp/sub and an alarm already installed and its stick. I caant afford to pay insurance and car note so my gf's dad is willing to help me out and pay my insurance for the year. Then I can just pay car note. But I do want to keep my baby gracy, I've grown attached to her very much. What do yoyu guys think? Is the new civic worth it?

What I'm going to do. I'm going to put my brother under my insurance and have him drive my eg civic but ill still be the owner. He will have to pay for any repairs that pop up and all that stuff. Might even have him pay to get it painted. And if I can't afford the payements on my other car then he will take over the newer car payments. I don't want to let go of my eg civic. Its my first born child. Eventually I will have both (maybe when school is done) and do a major motor swap on the eg and have it as my fun car and the newer one as my normal dricing car. The deal on the car is a good one and I can't pass it up. Especially once I'm done with school I'm going to have to pay school loans back. Going to go see the car today. Will let you guys know how it is.
