replacing all suspension components, do i have all the parts i need?

OK, i have a 1992 180sx. I’m replacing shocks and springs, bushings, balljoints etc…
I have the shocks and springs
i have the energy suspension bushing kit
i have front balljoints

I know i still need rear balljoints, but other then that, what am i missing? I want ever single piece of crappy factory rubber to be out of this car and replaced with something better. Will the energy suspension kit do that for me, or do i still need a couple pieces?
And the rear balljoints are from an 89 sentra front end correct? What is a good brand to go with for a strong long-lasting balljoint?

Please offer any advice or opinion on my build. I want to make sure i have everything i could possibly need. I have replaced the shocks and springs before, but have never tackled the bushings before, so this is foreign to me.

and also, what kind of 02 sensor is cost effective and reliable for the SR20det’s? i need a fat one for my turbo elbow on my redtop.

thanks

yes, thanks for the input.
fortunately the energy suspension bushing kit comes with those pieces.
But thanks for trying to help. Can you think of anything else i might need?

You would be better off buying newer adjustable parts to get rid of all rubber instead of replacing rubber with rubber…also solid aluminum diff bushings…strut bars I have a cusco one $60…steering rack bushing I have one tooo $40 bucks lol…

replacing the suspension links with adjustable pieces that have spherical bearings for joints to eliminate bushings is great on the track or smooth streets. However this is my daily driver and I want to keep it civilized! Plus energy suspension is not rubber, it’s a synthetic material that is at least twice as firm. so kind of a nice halfway compromise to get the best of both worlds.
And I say this out of experience, my last silvia i replaced some of the links with joints that have no rubber and it wasn’t the best on our crappy roads.
But a good point none the less.

As far as your strut bar, i am interested. please PM me your number I would love to check it out.
and the steering rack bushings, what kind, does it replace both?

thanks
