Revamping entire suspension. Need advice.

Alrigth folks! Finally after a very long year it looks like I'm going to dust of my brand new H&Rs that have been sitting underneath my be and install them. Reason being I'm finally ordering my KYB AGXs. Along with the H&Rs and AGXs I'm getting the KYB dust boots. What else can I do to aid the revamping of my suspension? I've heard of bushings of some sort, but I don't know where to get them, what they will improve, nor the part number. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I'm aware of the FSTB, RSTB, and Addco Sway bar. Any other accesories? Thanks and god bless!

Swar bar end link bushings.
The strut bearings - you can open up the old ones and regrease them.
Use your old isolators on your new H&R's if there in good shape.

I'll ask them to regrease the old ones. My insulators look dusty at worse. Other than that they look okay so I think I'll keep em. Are the sway bar end link bushings that come with the sway bar bad or something? Perhaps none are included? I'm not sure, I need to be enlightened. And that is it for suspension mods, eh? I can't wait to feel the diffrence. I just had a baby boy and I hope the new set up is not to harsh for him while he sits in his car seat. Thanks Jersey!

stock bushings are rubber.. rubber oxidized and wears quickly.. new bushing are urathane. harder, more responseive, longer lasting, more support.

one of my strut bearings were crack..if yuours are you want to replace it or you will have to get used to squeeking suspension everywhere u go..

I got the spring popping sound when turning the wheel after my drop, and it was my strut bearings...I got some very good instructions, from a very wise and reputible source..
