Default advice needed on upcoming suspension upgrade...
at 82k I think its finally time to replace the stock suspension. I am planning on using the Bilstein HD's, as well as a larger rear swaybar (Neuspeed or H&R). What else should I change while I'm there? I was going to order ECS's Complete Upper Strut Mounting Kit With Upper Spring Perches (2 Upper strut bearings, 2 Upper strut mounts, 2 Upper spring perches, 2 Upper securing nuts)...Is there anything else I need/should replace?? Anyone have an opinion on the Neuspeed vs. H&R swaybar?? Any other suggestions??

Thanks for taking the time

Geoff

Might as well do the front swaybar while you're in there

And if you don't, at least put on some poly bushings so you don't get the squeak.

Default It would be cheaper to put them in now rather than later. I'd have done it, but Mike's announcement
came out 2 weeks after I'd just dropped $600 for an alignment and corner balance.
