Default Replacing suspension, what else should be done while it's apart?
I'm planning to have the car corner balanced and aligned when I'm done, so what else should I service while I've got things apart? The car has 100k miles on it and I figure it needs some lovin. I want to get all the parts together so I can get everything at once. Does anyone supply a kit?

Heck, it sits at 26" on the stock suspesnion so you KNOW things are worn out!

Oh, any sources would be greatly appreciated!

Inspect the control arms, tie rod, etc... Might want to get some upper strut mount bushings as well.

Where is a good source or should I just head to the dealer for these?

With my miles, swapping out all the components is probably a good idea, but $600! Damn.
