need suggestions to freshen up suspension

[grega]

Hello,
Im new here. My first post!
Im looking to refresh my suspension on My 99 civic. Not really interested in lowering or stiffness. I just want to remove
The sloppyness that comes with age.
Is there a complete kit?
Any ideas?
Greg

I put this hardrace bushings kit and they do what you are looking for: tightening things up really well!:

 

[bastok]

That kit is for the 99-00 SI, it has some minor difference with the other 99 civics.
Look in the hardrace website the kit for your model (if it's not an SI)

Here i found it for you:

Ask them where can you find it in U.S. Maybe DOCHGARAGE have stock, ask them!

Bastok,
Thanks for the response.
That looks like what i'm looking for.
So all those Bushing will fit in the stock Honda Civic.
so i don't need to buy new control arms or anything like that?
my civic is an SI. btw i live in Canada.

 

[bastok]

They will fit right straight. Nothing else to change or buy apart.
They are the same as the oem, but with a little harder rubber, nothing stiff to worry about.

Remember, if i remember right, that the Canadian SI are the equivalent to the EX in U.S?
Easier: what engine code do your car have?

 

[grega]

How can I figure out the engine code? I found this number on the engine by the top coolant hose in front on top. 811251441 .
I also found this number on the timing belt cover d16y8. Do these help?

 

[bastok]

"D16Y8" is your engine.

So, you need the kit i posted the link at the end of my first answer, this one:

You don't buy a suspension part based on engine codes, you do it based off of the chassis code or trim model of the vehicle.

I sent them a message. Let's see what they say.

They are out of stock, and will contact me
When they get in. Bastok did you use these bushings?

Yes grega. I put the Hardrace kit and for now they are like new ( put them an year ago, so, they are young yet...but before buying them i did a lot of research and there were lots of good reviews )

Before buying the Hardrace kit, I had the energy bushings kit ready to be installed, but at last moment i prefered to go with hardrace because are the same style that oem bushings (rubber+metal shelf)
