If you are new to wrenching on suspensions, I humbly suggest that you have your mechanic give the shocks, rubber pushings and anti-roll bars a good look, noting the condition of all and the dimensions of any anti roll bars.
Next, give Chuck, at Elephant Racing a call to discuss where you want to go with the car, the mechanic's estimation of the condition of the existing suspension rubber and shocks.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear his recommendation of new rubber bushings, Bilsteins and sport hardness trailing arm bushings and top strut mounts.

I was kind of ready to go the poly bronze and uniball - the hard core race route but his recommendation of rubber for the street use made more sense.

It is important to look at the whole suspension, front and back and its current condition. Your real intended use and budget are the criteria.

It is not rocket science. I and others have really enjoyed doing the work.

You will find almost limitless and vast experience available - just ask, I do frequently:-)
