[slow&rusty]

Hey Gang - Well my car has been sitting since September 2009 and have finally got around this past weekend to ripping out all the front suspension and brakes.

I am in a quandary as to what path to choose. I started leaning towards coilovering the front using the neat kit from Elephant Racing, but $2300+ adds up really quickly by the time you add new bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends etc.

I read a post that Jack Olson went back to torsion bars from coilovers and that quite a few folks recommended against it. So now my desire to coilover the front is much less and I love the way the car actually rides with the stock torsion bars.

So now I am thinking:
1) New bushings all the way round (specifically PolyBronze from Elephant and regular rubber bushings for the sway bar)
2) New Ball joints and Tie Rods
3) Tie Rub prevention kit

and that's it...

Also question:
1) How do you check the health of the strut inserts?

This car is strictly a fun street car, will never be tracked or DE'd.

Any advice or guidance is appreciated.
Thanks - Yasin
