05 sedan driving light crap

its been in an accident and i fucked up the lower control arm on the passenger side but i know it will drive good again one day. going over bumps used to be so smooth and and its like . so ive had the sway bar links and bushings replaced and it took away alot of noise but the is still sloppy and after driving in my friends 02 civic it really pissed me off. So now i want to replace the struts and shocks im gueesing and Im wondering if I should go with the SS struts and shocks. Now ive seen the list of swappaple parts from the lsj but If i just wanted to make my 05 2.2 sedan drive decent again do you think fe5 shocks, struts, and springs would cover it? or am I gonna have to order a crap load of parts to cover it. Im not looking for complete ss handling?? If its just a matter of ordering two struts and two shocks and springs this will be happening soon, if theirs alot involved maybe not.

Input would be awsome...sorry its my birthday and im kinda drunk

1st off happy bday ! and you should be fine with just the fe5 parts and swapping them unless there is something else causing it to drive that way

you can swap the SS strusts and shocks fine, if your buying used, get those, if you buying them from a dealer, or from a vendor, ur better off buying urself some koni yellows

koni yellows will look into it....and thank you!

those konis front and rear are struts?? The rear struts wont have any problems replacing because I got shocks in the back...thanks again!!

do you think its worth buying these off ebay their 200 dollars a pop?
