1) SFC Stage 1
2) Softer, more comfy tires
3) Smaller wheels
4) Superlight wheels
5) sound deadening material
6) tighten loose screws

wurd, turd!

or check them gasket things that go on the strut mount..i think i might need to in the front but im not sure what noise it makes. but im too lazy anyway.

OR you could jus wait til spring man. winter makes creaks and stuff....it sucks

once you break those oem seals, it's all downhill from there.

Strut mounts and bearings
My '96 I30 was in the same situation and these new parts solved the case:
- New KYB GR-2 Struts
- New OEM Strut Mounts
- New OEM Strut Bearings
- New OEM Inner tie rod ends
Use as much OEM parts in the suspension as you can, you'll be not dissapointed and don't use for any reason KYB Strut mounts, you'll waste your money.
All the suspension parts are expensive, expect to spend at least 500-600 (Just Parts, labor is another ticket!) to replace all that parts

damn, that sounds like alot of work. i wish i never took apart my car to install my stereo. but i went around twice to make sure everything is tight before i put everything back together. and i already have kyb agx shocks and h&r springs in my room just waiting to be installed.

wht bushings are you guys talking about?
