Suspension Advice Needed

Whats up everyone. I've decided to lower my car now that the cash has finally come in. I have a 1994 4 door integra and its almost at 200,000km. I want to lower my car with new shocks and coilovers. What I wanted to know is that since my mileage is starting to get high what else should I change when I get the car lowered. I was thinking of new bushings, ball joints, exhaust hangers, and control arm bushings too. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. Also a good shop would be great too.

yah buy a energy suspension master kit, to all the bushings... Im pretty sure your car has swaybars, if so check the condition of the endlinks, and thats about it...

If you have some extra cash, get strut bars and lower tie bars
