Bushing/suspension questions

bigj480 · 08-02-2009, 03:31 PM

I bought Koni yellow strut cartridges and Eibach Pro Kit springs a long time ago but never installed them. Now I NEED to replace my tie rods and this is the perfect time to update my suspension. I'm also laid off, but I've got a job offer I'm putting off till I can get this car fixed.

I have:
Koni Yellow strut cartridges
Eibach Pro Kit springs
Front lower ball joints
Both outer tie rod ends
Both inner tie rod ends
Full Prothane bushing kit (red)
twosrus.com sway bar end links

So here are the questions:

1)What else should I replace?(front strut mounts, bump stops, strut boots, sway bar reinforcement plates ?)

2)Where do you recommend I buy these parts?

BTW, the odometer reads 170k miles.

There, I edited my post so there are only two questions, any opinions?

If the strut tops have never been replaced, get them.
strut bellows to keep grime out.
rubber isolators for the strut tops and spring seats.
