Default What else should I replace?

Hey everybody!!

I'm fairly new to the forum, but not to the camaro. I'm on my second camaro...1995 Z with 180K. She still runs like a champ (27-30 mpg on the hwy) But its time to change out the shocks and struts. I just picked up a set of KYB Gas-A-Just shocks & struts from another forum member and I was curious if anything else should be replaced at the same time?

Thanks in advance for your input!!

your going to have to have the frontend alianed so it would be a good time to change the tierod ends and while u got em off check the brake pads. well new tires and/or wheels if needed

I would love to put some new "shoes" on her but I just replaced the rubber less than 2 months ago. I had it aligned when I put on new tires....think I will have to realign it again?

You're replacing your suspension up front, so yes, you'll need an alignment.

Might as well slap on some swaybars while you're at it.
