looks like a deal and i want to do a full overhaul on my suspension. anyone deal with this company before?

 

it's doubtful that you will need to replace the control arms. i can't imagine that it would be necessary unless you've somehow managed to snap them. consider just replacing the LCA bushings, swaybar endlink bushings and the swaybar ball joints. you can get polyurethane bushings that will outlast the car from suspension.com and the endlink ball joints are available at your dealer. the ball joints are about $90 for the pair, LCA bushings are about $40 and the swaybar endlink bushings are $20 or so.

the energy suspension bushings are virtually indestructible and improve ride and suspension rebound notably. the endlink balljoints don't need to be replaced unless yours squeak or are in poor shape.

as far as the tie rods i have no clue. i've not had any experience in replacing those, as it has been unnecessary.

 

Damn that's super cheap. You using energy bushings or going to keep those. I believe people who purchase the ebay ones replace all the rubber bushings and balljoints

 

no OEM no care.

 

well, dko, as far as dollars and sense goes, your package is almost as much as buying the set, plus i still have to burn off my old bushings, clean up mi old arms, press in the new ones. dont get me wrong, i actually was thinking of doing that, but i have 2 problems. the first is that i'm putting hydraulics on my car and i would prefer the slight cussion that reg rubber busings provide over the energy suspension ones. the suspension will be firm enough without them to make it worse. second, when i was under the car today looking to see what i needed i notied that my left wheel rubs the firewall on turns(i have 20's on the car) while the pass side doesnt. the prior owner had an accident on that side, so it's possible that the control arm is bent slightly, maybe not enough to change it for reg suspension and wheels, but i'd rather not go through the work and have to replace it when i go to align the car.
i dont think i need tie rods right now either, but for 40 bucks over just the arms from then ou get the sway bar links and tie rods, not a bad deal and i can save them for later.

 

oh, i didn't realize. well looks like you have it well in hand then, good luck with the setup, dude

 

Have that kit on my car now with no problems.

 

i bought the full setup from the bestsuspension on ebay. steering tight, and no problems for the last 2 years they have been on, and I've put them to the test, good parts. This seller, i'm not sure where he is getting his parts from but, do some research
