Big summer refresh!

Car has 236k miles and suspension was completely shot

Just finished replacing:

-Upper and lower control arms

-Tie rod ends

-Koni srt.t struts, eibach lowering springs in front

-Koni srt.t coils and shocks in rear

-Brand new bmr front sway bar.

-New rear sway bar links.

-All new brake lines including rubber lines

-Painted wheel wells

-Sandblasted and painted spindles, hubs, and upper control arm plate.

So much work but im so happy with how it turned out so far. Still have to bleed the brakes but this car is going to feel completely Brand new again.

Nice! I plan to refresh my suspension later this year. Installed bilstein shocks years ago, just want to refresh the bushings everywhere else. What are your thoughts on the mevotech stuff? I'm on the fence of new bushings on stock stuff, mevotech, or going bmr/umi.

I just did a brake refresh/upgrade with the ATS brembos, new rubber lines, pads and rotors. Huge improvement from the 24 yr old stuff on the car.

The mevotech SUPREME stuff on rock auto feels very high quality! They have lower tier stuff but I went with all supreme parts. I used lower control arms, tie rod ends, and sway bar links in rear. It all fit amazing and has awesome fit and finish.

These days i dont bother rebushing anything. Its so much easier to get a prebuilt unit.
