Suspension component pricing?
At 110,000 miles, I figure it's time I start looking at new suspension for this coming spring/summer.
Aside from the painful cost that I will incur for the install of said suspension, is there anything I'm missing or should also include in the list below? Please keep in mind that this isn't working under an unlimited budget and going through and replacing all of the bushings and mounts and such definitely isn't a possibility...
bilstein or koni sports (comments?) with eibach pro-kit -- 885.40 vs 739.00 respectively
19mm neuspeed sway bar -- 169.00
1/2 kmac - 139.00
upper strut bearings - 6.95 x 2
Anything else I should consider, aside from Defcon? The above prices are taken almost entirely from shox.com before requesting a internet car club quote. While I like them better, I found ECS to be slightly higher priced on the eibach/bilstein combo.

Well, as far as the tools are concerned
as well as my limited abilities as well as the abilities of local friends/family, I think that the suspension will probably be tackled by an independent shop here in town.

I know I know...
Trust me, that really caught my eye, but it's the mileage that the suspension already has on it that steers me away. :S
Do you always install suspension for $100? hehe
