Default Pricing suspension...

shox.com for bilstein sports & eibach pro-kit... should I be looking at anything else?

I'm definitely doing this on a budget since I'm still going to school, but will I need to replace any extras while I'm in there? I've heard of people replacing bearings and such, but when it comes to suspension, I'm lost.

TIA!

Default don't skip the bearings like I did when doing the whole thing - you'll regret it

as I blew a strut bearing (disintegrated part of it) on a recent impact and cracked a BBS rim in the process. While they are doing the install, it takes no extra work to swap out the parts. After it's done and you need to replace a side or 2, it's pretty much the same amount of labor as the suspension going in. Do it once and do it right otherwise it'll cost you big $$$ in the long run - about as much as the suapension when I last totaled last weeks misadventures (new rim, tire, labor,bearings and a new alignment....)
