just wondering about suspension for a lowered daily driver. I have a 96 civic sedan and I have to redo basically everything on suspension but I want to do it right. it's lowered completely improperly right now but I've heard a million things about what parts to replace (sway bars, shocks, struts, etc). I'm learning as I go with this car and I guess I'm just looking for starting points? I don't race, just want a smoother ride done right. any suggestions? thanks

If your not doing any circuit racing or anything and just looking for parts replacement due to wear and tear then just a nice set of coilovers, some shiny lower control arms and some OEM bushings all around should do you good.

new control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, ect. would give you less of a rough ride. old bushings over time will crack and loose their elasticity.

to each there own, but my suggestion for a daily driver is to stick with OEM as much as possible.
