Susp..Question

[MahFiVeOh]

I will be installing my lowering springs this w/e and was wondering what parts i should consider replacing while it is ripped apart.I dont really need the high end stuff because my car is a daily driver and will prob never see the track.Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thx

new spring isolators would be the only thing i could think of. not expensive either. and also a new pinion snubber so you dont bottom out on every little bump

what brand of springs, some come with the snubber Eibach supplies go with polyurethane isolators they dont get hard like rubber love mine

depending upon how things look, i would check and replace if necessary:
the LCA bushings. poly are nice.
ball joints
struts, since you are in there. (esp if you are doing castor/camber plates.). and if doing so, and needing an alignment anyhow, check your rack and tie rods.

well, now we see how i think and why when i did the rack, i stripped the front end to the frame and replaced everything. LOL. good luck.

where does the pinion snubber go? it's too late for me if it's in the rear

the pinion snubber is right above the differential. get under there and look right above the pumpkin you should see a rubber bump stop. that is it three bolts and its out. the hardest part is getting the old rubber off the bracket (without help of a vice, mine was pretty tight). hope that helps you.
