Default Front suspension suggestions....

I'm looking to get some coil overs and replace some other parts some as preventative maintenance and some to help with suspension rattles/clunks.

This is my list so far. Anything else I should consider while I've got everything apart? Should I consider buying the hardware kits(bolts and nuts) that ECS offers?

TIA

Vogtland Coilovers $1,109 PureMS
Control Arm - upper right $90 PureMS
Control Arm - upper left $90 PureMS
Control Arm - Front Lower x 2 $220 PureMS
OE HD Tie-Rod Assembly x 2 $190 ECS

Total $1,699

Wheel bearings while you're in there? Other than that I think you've got it all.

Default There any bushings up there? Can't remember...

Other than that, sounds like you'll (obviously) need an alignment after all that work. Make sure to let us know how the Vogtlands work for ya.

Default I was considering them...

but MarkP's write up makes it look like *I* wouldn't accomplish it all in a weekend. I guess if I took a couple days of vacation I'd do it.

Default What year is your car?

if you have aluminum spindles it could be done rather painlessly since they bolt-in.
