Hello,
I am the original owner of my 90 S13 with 200,000 miles on the clock.

All my suspension is worn out. I only have changed the struts in 2003.

My friend is going to help me change everything & I wanted to know what would be a good kit for rear & Front.
I am looking for a little better then Stock parts.

I know they have bushings Kits on Ebay but wanted to know what Brands to look for.

To change everything what do you think the cost of parts will be?

THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE!

Energy Suspension makes a complete bushing kit for your car.The only trade off from the factory bushings is a little bit more of road noise,however the car will handle much better.

well the only thing that would really go out from wear and tear would be your struts and springs and your bushings. All the solid parts like control arms sways things like that shouldn't really wear out.
If you get a list of parts on your car that are worn out then you can just search for parts online n get price estimates.
a full bushing kit from energy suspension is about $150
struts n springs can go from either $400-$2000 it all depends on what you want and how much you got to spend.

Energy Hyperflex Bushing Kit $139.95 from mysr20.com Installing these is not a walk in the park, check out my build in my sig if you want an idea of whats involved. You could get the ISIS or Circuit sports kit for $400-$450 which gives you RUCA's, Rear Toe Rods, Rear Traction Rods, and Tesnion Rods. If all thats worn out i would check the Tie Rod Dust boots that cover your power steering, I bet they're cracked / blown out. Happy hunting.

Thanks for the help.

A friend owes me a big favor and is not charging a penny. He just said to replace everything while it is torn down.

THANKS

Will look into Energy for the bushings.
