I am going to get the car back on the lift and try to simulate the noise. If it is the strut bearings, it should be a fairly simple process. I am hoping it isn't the struts themselves. The KYB's are $350+ for all four. I'd also do the strut bearings as well. That is another $100... But, for the $6,000 I paid for the car, I don't mind some maintenance costs. Used Honda's hold their value well and I am trying to keep this car for a while. I just don't want to dump too much money into it.

I changed so much stuff at once, it's hard to know how much improvement was due to the poly bushings. I lowered on Ground Control coilovers and Koni STR.T (orange) struts and shocks since they were done for at 160k miles.
I used a Time-Sert kit and a few prayers to the Machine Gods to fix the threads. It seems to have done the trick.
$6000? Pretty low miles on yours? I picked mine up for under $3k, but the tranny was making an awful racket, suspension was getting tired, and it had "B*tch" etched into the door by the original owner's spiteful ex-boyfriend.
