So I'm about to raise my car from something like a 4" slam to a 1" drop. Got Koni blues and Tein springs.

What other suspension/steering items would you consider replacing/checking while your in there messing around?

My car doesent make any wierd noises (yet) and has about 100,000 miles on it ('02). CV joints look fine and i dont see any grease leaks by the bushings.

Also, is there a way to get an OEM EP3 illustrated parts catalogue somehow other than buying one at a dealer ? (eg. CD Rom)

I'd double check the wheel bearings, tie rod ends, end links and lca bushings.
There was a link to one in the DIY stickys to the OEM Service Manual, I'll double check. To see a simple break down, check Hondapartscheap.com. They also list the oem part numbers.

edit:
Here's the link

Thanks for the manual link.

Are these checks something that should be done with the wheels on the car (to have something to grab) or is it a large-screwdriver/pry bar type of check?
