Suspension replacement

Hey guys..here is my deal...I currently have stock setup and have already replace front struts and it seems that they are shot again. I am sick and tired of the ride and noises that come from the front end.

What I want to do is replace everything from struts/springs and anything else that is needed for the front & rear suspension.

I don't want to lower the car or alter it in that way. I just want a complete replacement suspension.

I am not sure where to start so any advice/ideas would be great.

Thanks

Most likely your oem springs are fine so leave those alone, they are what will determine ride height. Get new struts again for the front with new mounts and bushings, new shocks for the rear, front and rear endlinks from Racingline, front strut tower bar from Racingline to tighten things up a little and a rear srtut brace from Cattman. Now you will be good to go! You are probably looking at something less than $600 in parts all together.

well first off there are no struts in the rear so no rear strut bar. i take you meant RSB Rear anti-Sway Bar. well that and the FSTB are not needed, but do help.

I suggest front struts and rear shocks aftermarket. GR-2 are a nice upgrade but noticeably stiffer.

Tokico has some oem replacements that sould be out soon. We're all hoping they decide to make us adjustable ones soon.

otherwise you have coilovers that replace all you mentioned. but like i mentioned, SEARCH will help you decide on what's best for what you're looking for.

I simply want to get rid of all noises and have a solid suspension that doesn't sound like garbage plastic on every little bump that I hit.

So if I am understanding this I should go with new front struts and rear shocks with new mounts and bushings as well.
