I'll be replacing the shocks and struts soon, smash.gif and was wondering what other items should be replaced as a matter of course. Street car, slightly lowered, steering rack spacer, factory rear sway bar, 100 Lb rear springs, and KYB's headbang.gif . I have a new 19mm front bar to go in, so I've identified the 19mm bushings, F & R drop link bushings. What else? confused24.gif Will the stock snubbers on the front strut shaft (hopefully they are still there...) fit Bils?

Thanks,
Harvey

Well . . . as long as you are "in there" so to speak, might as well throw in a nice 3.6 laugh.gif

Depending on the age of your ball joints and tie rod ends, you may want to replace them at the same time. I did and was pleased with how solid the front end and steering felt. I used standard rod ends but most people would probably recommend turbo rod ends.

trash the 19mm sway bar and get a 22mm or bigger.
you'll have the 19mm maxed out in a few weeks. (well, IF you like driving through corners fast laugh.gif )

i'm guessing you're going to replace those KYB? right?

get turbo-tie-rods. that'll tighten the front suspension.

how does the shifter feel? maybe a rennshift if you can afford it.


then make sure all the bolts are tight, get a good alignment and you'll be good to go!

Yeah like Maf914 said. I did the turbo ties since my ties were no good. I can't compare the feel from new regular ties to new turbo ties but according to several members if you're not A/Xing or racing they really don't make a big enough difference. But then again even if I had know this BEFORE I purchased the turbos I still would have opted for them.
