Hey guys... heres what I am replacing out of my 97 SE 5 speed

1. Springs - H&R
2. Struts - Fronts Tokicos, Rears GR2's
3. All 4 spring seats
4. 4 Spacers
5. All 4 KYB dust boots
6. Rear Motivational strut mounts
7. Front Strut bearings

I have a few questions:
1. Does this seem like a complete suspension upgrade? What else needs to be added?

2. Do I even need to order new spacers? I had seen this in another thread, but not quite sure that I need to acually switch these out.

3. Should I replace the front strut mounts as well since I am switching out the backs anyway?

Thanks a lot guys!

 

Nice choice of spring.

Good combo of struts and shocks.

You might not need the spring seats.

Spacers or isolation sleves (I hope thats what you ment) are needed.

KYB boots are fine.

Motivational mounts are excellent and according to a members who have them, they make the car ride much better when it's lowered.

Definately replace your bearings.

Check the front strut mounts, if you have a lot of play, you can replace the rubber internal section for about 20 bucks.


Good luck with your install, let us know how it turns out.

 

you might consider getting some of these.

also check http://www.suspension.com for a lower price.

 

Would these cost extra to have installed if they are already taking apart the entire suspension?

Also, how do I know if I need to replace my spring seats? How are the KYB front strut mounts (if I decide to replace them)? Or are OEM better?

 

the end-links and FSB bushing are very easy to install, its only a few bolts, but the Control arm bushing are a pain from what i have read, and it might take a shop 2-3hrs to do because getting the stock bushing is very hard. I would say just get the end-links and FSB bushings and forget about the Control are bushings.

 

Are these rubber pieces something that can be picked up at the parts dept at a Nissan dealership or are they sold by an aftermarket company ie. kyb?
