Lower control arms were OEM. The sway bar bushings were OEM. The end links were MOOG. The radius rod bushings were Energy Suspension and the axles are GSP.

civicdrivr, if sometime in the future you find yourself in the vicinity of your spare LCA's, could you measure the length of the inner and outer OEM sleaves on the bushings?
Those numbers would help advance the discussion, on the thread below, as to the feasability of the ES bushing sets that may be compatable with the CL-S6.

I was planning on it 
They should still be at Pauls. I forgot a box of parts, including my new side mount that doesnt fit.

It was a relatively small box. I tossed the old front and rear mount and the new side mount into it. I forgot to grab it when I left and remember when I was an hour away. I think I texted you about it and the battery

Small update:
- The CR-Kais are gone. I sold them to a member on here, but theyre not going onto an Acura. Im currently on the winter tires. In 50*+ weather they are just too soft and suck in the corners. Im probably tossing the 19s back on the car this weekend.
- I had a bit of a scare with the new tranny. I saw moisture on the diff housing and tried to track down where the leak was coming from. Couldnt see anywhere on the housing that it could have come from. Turns out my FPR gauge is leaking fluid
- Speaking of the transmission, Ive got about 2,300 miles on it so far and its shifting great. I placed an order for some more GM Syncromesh, so once that comes in Ill swap out the fluid. Currently there is Pennzoil Syncromesh, but I want the friction modified stuff.
- Headlight plans changed once again. What I really want to do is above my skillset and way too time consuming to get the way I want it. So Im going with the backup plans. I want them done this weekend. Im off tomorrow and I plan on being in the garage all day getting them done. I just need to pick up some paint after work. Its looking like the last big meet of the year is this Sunday, so I want to freshen things up a bit.
And yes, I still plan on doing a Build Thread V3.0, I just havent had the time to compile all the informative posts and lay it all out in an easy to follow timeline.

Its coming....
The lights are coming along. The shrouds are built, everything is trimmed, and the projectors are modded [slightly]. Im just battling the weather right now. Last night I tried painting the reflectors and shrouds but it was 29* outside and about 40* in my garage, so the paint wasnt setting correctly. I sprayed them today outside since it was in the 50s but it was windy as hell and kept finding specs of dirt/dust in the paint
I pulled them into the garage and sprayed them there. And proceeded to kill off some brain cells from the fumes
Right now Im letting the paint set for about 2-3 hours (and come down from this chemical high) so I can tape off the shrouds and lay down the other color.
It sounds like Im close to completion, but thats far from the truth. There are a few other things I need to do too, and they are time consuming

Fuck it. The paint is pissing me off. Im going to take a few hours before work in the morning to try to get it nice and smooth. Heres a teaser:
Once I get the paint issue straightened out, Im going to remount the projectors and shrouds onto the buckets and let them air out for a week while Im on the west coast. Once I get back Ill get the lights all sealed up and back on the car. Ill also have a few more
mods to show you guys
