Suspension Overhaul
I'm looking to a complete suspension overhaul over the winter. I've been looking at suspension bushing and sub frame bushings. So far all I've seen is the 3sx kits which cost quite a bit. If I have to I will spend the $600+ to get these kits =( I'm going to email energy suspension see if they'll put out anything.
I'm looking at upgrading both the front and rear sway bars and replace my shocks with the KYG GR-2s or the AGX's. As far as springs go I'm open to suggestions, I'm looking for stiffer rear springs and close to stock front springs. Probably going to replace both the front two lower control arms and all the tie rods. Hopefully I won't go into too much debt doing all this

hey man. i just replaced my entire rear suspension a few weeks ago. however, i only replaced it with stock parts b/c my previous ones were all bent up. so if you need any help on the overhaul (parts, tools, best way to get the ball joints out), let me know and i'll be more than glad to help. it was a fun job, but definitely helps to have a second hand around. if you have a lift, i'd recommend; but i was able to make due with just some jack stands.
oh, and i just ordered the Addco front and rear sway bars from 3SX. however, they're on back order, so i won't get em for another week or so, but when i do, i'll post on here about removal and install. when i put the stock rear sway bar back on during my suspension replacement, it was a bitch to get back on, even as little as it is. so i've been told a crow bar and definitely a second person (you'll need all 4 hands) is a must if you're gonna upgrade the sway bars. good luck, and if ya got any questions about the procedures, gimme a holler. oh, and you DO know that once you get everything installed, you will need to take your car to get the tires aligned.
