Getting ready for QDM need more advise on fluids and suspension

I want to change the Trans fluid and fluid in the diff's also finally putting on the Wilwood BBK that has been sitting in the garage. What fluids should I order for these things?

finally getting the Bilsteins and Eibach on as well. Other than new strut mounting bit's what else should I order ball joints, bushings etc. I figure I might as well replace things while i'm in there.

Thanks, Nathan

Go ahead and do the defcons while you're in there.

You'll be glad you did and you'll save some $$ on install.

For the quattro tranny...>>

Get 3 quarts of Redline MT-90 (ECS has a kit) If you DYI, you will need a 17mm allen socket (ECS has this as well). You will also need something to pump the fluid back into the tranny.

On the brake fluid, I use ATE Super Blue.

On suspension, If a high mileage car, I would get sway bar down links all around. Makes a world of difference.
