Suspension swap checklist
Suspension swap checklist
Sorry about the common post, but would anyone care to double check me? Is there anything i'm forgetting?
Springs/struts (obviously)
dust boots
bump stops
Camber bolts (front)
Adjustable parallel links (rear)
Do I need strut bearings? I saw them listed on Tirerack.com but also remember reading they werent necessary to replace with our cars.
Im going with Eibach/Koni and realize the camber bolts and adjustable links may not be necessary with the moderate drop, but I have heard of too many people with uneven tire wear (with Eibachs) so I think theyre good investments.
TIA,
Tim

yeah, you should be fine with that stuff
you dont really need the adjustable parallel links but it would be a good time to put them in while you do the suspension
check out www.tirerack.com and you can get dust boots with built in bumpstops for 10 or 15 ea. Look for the KYB brand on there.
