if your going to have it apart new bushings would be good. not sure on the sway bars and if u want it to set a bit lower leave the stock spring in it. just as hard to change with either motor in it so why not see if u like it. lol.

compared to every thing else im gonna do on the car the springs aint much so i will probably just change them and install the polyurathene bushings.brakes should be good though shouldnt they? dont know if there is any difference.never heard it mentioned

depends on what tranny, is it a 2004r or 700r4? 700r4 will be ok. 200 4r is a weak trans. will not hold up for long.
