The ultimate street setup seems to be Ground Control's sleeve and collar
coilover kit on KYB AGX dampers.  With these, you can also use GC's
camber/caster plates, but cannot use a "normal" strut tower brace.  You
want at least 1.5* of negative camber in the front, about 0* of toe-in,
and at least the maximum caster spec; maybe more than the spec (I don't
have a B14 or plates, I don't know).  If you're in SoCal, call up Darin
at West End Alignment in Gardena, and he'll even fix your rear axle.  If
you're back East, you can hook up with an SE-R guy by the name of Steve
Fultz, and he can do the same thing.  I'm sorta' working with a local
shop here in Middle America to do the same thing...we'll see...

And to answer your question about bushings, if you can stand the noise,
do it!  The factory only specifies that the bushings be replaced when
they're badly worn or broken.  My bushings were badly worn when I bought
my car in '01 with 253 miles on the clock; the engine mounts don't keep
the engine from rocking!
