Ordering parts for suspension upgrade, while at it, any other suggested parts to replace.
 
I'm replacing all 8 front control arms, springs and shocks. Since she we will be all opened up down there, I figure I should replace other items too.

My list, not knowing the car intimately yet, starts like this...
Sway bar bushings
Strut bearings (suggested by a friend) but I don't see them in ETKA?

Not sure if there are any more items to include. Thanks in advance for any additional suggestions/comments.

Thanks!

which suspension did you choose?

Jim - 03S8 04-27-2005 05:22 AM

Going with the Euro S8 suspension :-)

It's there, I think it's just called "mounting, upper".
 
For a '99, that's 4D0 412 377 F

where did you find that?

Thanks. I see it. Same part number for the 2000.

just saw on 2benntett.com that they are offering it. $2150 includes sway bars front and rear

just talked with them the springs are stiffer and the shocks are stiffer forgot to ask about the
 
roll bars. They had never compared part numbers between the euro S8 and the US version but this is what they belive. They also have a 350 MM 6 piston Brembo front brake kit complete for $1950 This is advailable with 2 day shipping. Looks like I am going to be spending some money this year.
