What kit did you go with?

EDIT: googling that 27164 results in a honda kit!
I don't remember which kit I got for this, but it was the same one I got for the ball joint off amazon. I have replaced that bushing as well, with a super pro one. I would not recommend anything harder than stock for this unless you're going to be at the track all the time. I swapped that bushing and the corresponding arm and it causes the shock from bumps to go straight into the chassis. Very jarring and not comfortable.
