Default Ur q suspension

My next priority on my Ur q is a complete suspension rebuild. I prefer to go with rubber, but poly bushings have not been ruled out. I need advice on sourcing this stuff, especially struts/springs. I DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT want lowered Koni yellows. I want to remain stock on height. Any help would be totally appreciated.

Default Yes, Bilstein shocks, the best!!

I've redone my suspension lately.

I'm not sure that you have to go to coilovers or anything drastic, as the 'stock' setup isn't bad. Especially if you upgrade all the components.

I Repalced the a-arm bushings with 'hard' bushings, replaced the front strut mounts with sperical bushings, and replaced the rear strut mounts with an upgraded version.

And of course, installed Bilstein strut inserts all around.

A *definate* improvement over the baked suspension bushings and tired Boge inserts. (oe still? They were orange)

Default I hate Bilsteins

Personally I think they are as harsh as Konis, and they just dont last. I have replaced low-mileage Bilsteins too many times cuz the seals began leaking...
