Starting My Summer Projects - Suspension Phase 1

[jyl]

Whew - just bit the bullet and placed a sizeable (for me) order with our host. Am redoing the suspension with Bilstein sport strut inserts and rear shocks, new ball joints, and Elephant Racing front monoballs / rear monoballs / bronze A-arm bushings.

What am I not doing? I'm going cheap with the $13 bump steer "steering rack spacers" - the full bump steer kit with the turbo tie rods will have to wait. Also am going to wait on torsion bars, sway bars, and strut brace until I put some driving time on this first round of changes.

I wanted to get ahead of the mooted price increases and get the car handling soundly again ahead of my summer road trips.

So the board should brace for a flood of "help! confused in garage" questions. Maybe I'll just keep a laptop and webcam under the car so that I won't even have to run back and forth between garage and study.
