Default '96 Civic CX Subframe replacement

I have a '96 CX hatchback that has a severely rusted front subframe (thanks, upper midwest winter salt!). I am thinking of tackling a swap of the subframe with a salvaged part. I'm wondering what other bushings I should look at replacing as long as I have everything taken apart on the front end.

I replaced the upper control arms two years ago (worn upper ball joints). I had both front half shafts replaced 25k ago. I installed new rotors, pads and rebuilt calipers about three years ago.

Should I think about the lower ball joint? Other bushings or parts?

Thanks for any suggestions.
