Front Suspension.

ok i have found the 7/8"thick rear sway bar with all the bushings and the GR2's but i cant find mich of any thing for the front.

and my front suspension is shot, shredded bushings, swaybar cracking at the chassis. i just know any moment i am gonna be going dound the road, hit a bump and hear a crack as the bar comes off the bottom end of my car or a clank as the lower control arm bolts sheer off.

so my question is are there any parts i can get to replace most of my worn out part?

i would like a bigger front sway bar but i cant find any as well as i cant find ANY polyurethane bushings. something better than GR2's would be nice too.

any one know any thing?

Don't worry about the front sway bar. If it's bad, then replace it with an OEM one. But it's a common trick of FWD tuners (even Honda guys who actually care about performance and not the lowest drop possible) to set the rear suspension slightly stiffer to offset the car's natural tendency to understeer. I've always thought that our cars are remarkably well balanced, especially for FWD cars.

I've got the NIB Koni shocks for sale. Paid $280 in 1988 for the 4 (front and rear). New and shiny, asking $200 + shipping. Email me at jsbsssjs@aol.com.
