Suspension Kit Advice
#12
I have the bilsteins w eihbach springs. Lowered the car one inch, rides great. Handles great. No issues w speed bumps. Much better than stock de carbons. They come on the standard FE3 suspension package w is the base package. The bilsteins w good springs will run $8-900 and I feel is the best for not big money. W a set of summer z rated tires, the car handles phenomenal.

I do have one question though, do you guys think I should buy new strut mounts? I just have the factory ones on there still and don't really know if there are any issues with them, but just not sure if its something I need to do or not. Any help would be great, thanks!

As always, thanks for the advice Craby! Is there a brand of them you'd recommend?

Go OEM on the shock mounts -- why? Place the OEM one next to the Moog one -- and you will see the OEM one is beefier, and this is why I did NOT go w/Moog's…
Agreed on Strano's sways, but just do NOT over-tighten the poly bushings, tighten just enough to eliminate play!

Do you guys know if anyone on here has a "how-to" for replacing the shocks and springs? Preferably with pictures? It sounds like the rear ones shouldn't be too bad, but the front ones sound like a PITA and this is my first attempt...
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!
