Some of my suspension bushings are giving out, and making my ride quality poorer. I am looking to get OEM ones, but will consider OEM quality parts. It is for a daily driver, so any recommendations? I know Energy Suspensions has kits, but if I recall, the ride gets stiffer.

I know the trailing arm bushings are. Not sure on the front LCA. I will be replacing the rear LCA.

I put the energy suspension on my trailing arms and loved the feel after. Total P.I.A installing them IMHO

I swapped out all of my bushings, and it made a massive difference. It is an absolute pita to get the old ones out, but putting the new ones in isn't all that bad.

Did you use OEM ones?

No. Energy Suspension all around. It feels pretty good to me as far as ride quality goes,. But to be fair, my daily used to be an evo (my play car now) and I was trying to put the civic's suspension almost on par with that.
