1993 si suspension

Hello, is there anyway I could adapt another kind of suspension in my Prelude 1993?
I'm in Brazil and there is no replacement parts here... My suspension is not looking very good and If I have to import the parts form US I would pay the car value... so I'm a little lost... anyone? any ideas?

Thank you very much

if your country dont supply parts then you just have to import parts or sell your car

Hi, thanks for the reply.
The thing is I wanted to avoid these two options you presented, because it is expensive to import and cheap to sell... so you could have an idea, I paid in US$ 12000 for the car and now market value is around US$ 5000.. If I import all the parts I would spend about US $ 4000.. thats why I'm searching for options trying to see If I can adapt something and use parts from other cars made in Brazil.
Cheers!

Hey G loc, thanks for the reply.

Thats another issue for me since I know very little about suspension, specially the Prelude one...
The mechanics here in Sao Paulo charge way too much just to check out what parts are bad...
But... I would say... since this car has 70 k running in 16 years.. the ends (i don know if they call that in english) and the joints... but again... I know too little.
Thats why I'm here to see if anyone could give me a start where to look first or what to do first.
thanks for your time.
