    Suspension refresh

    My car crossed 100k miles recently and the handling isn't as tight as it used to be so I'm planning on doing a pretty thorough refresh and would appreciate any comments or suggestions. This is purely a daily driver that might see the very occasional autocross so comfort, reliability and low maintenance are big concerns.

    Here's the current state:
    Stock suspension
    DC5R 22mm rear sway bar + HardRace endlinks (looking pretty worn)
    D3 XX subframe brace
    SPC front camber kit

    Here's the refresh plan:
    HFP suspension
    OEM front LCA bushings
    OEM rear trailing arm bushings
    Moog rear endlinks
    Energy Suspension Poly front and rear sway bar bushings
    Ingalls rear camber kit

    Any thoughts or opinions? Recommendations?

    Should I also replace anything else (ball joints, tie rod ends, etc.)?

    Moog outer tie rods. ES front LCA bushings and take your pick of RCAs. the J's racing ones aren't too much more expensive than the buddy clubs or hard race. I enjoy my buddy clubs but people always talk crap on them cause they dont have the snap rings.

    As far as camber settings double the front from what you have in the rear. F-2.5 R-1.25ish is pretty reasonable.

    The biggest upgrade if you are going to auto cross more often is tires!

    P.s if you go aspec make sure you get the RSX outer tie rods

    Everything you and Ally mentioned sounds spot on. I was also curious about the tires.
