Steve,

I would rethink the 'stock' thing. If you're going to go to all the trouble of ripping everything out and renewing, you may as well make everything a bit tighter and stiffer. Randy is right in that this is an ugly greasy project.

I went the ER Polybronze route, and it was fairly straightforward, although labor-intensive. The results justified it though. The biggest single improvement I saw and felt was stiffening up the rear torsion bars. Even more than new Bilsteins.

To do the job right, count on:

1) ball joints
2) turbo tie rods
3) bump steer kit, if this is an issue
4) all bushings
5) torsion bars, F & R
6) Bilsteins
7) corner balance and alignment
