    Replacing front shocks with Bilsteins. What else do I need?

    Anything else I need besides the shocks? Do I need a new spring perch or rubber mounting points on the top or bottom of the spring if I'm replacing them? Or, do I just inspect and see if it's dry/cracked/whatever?

    Cheers & thanks.
    I love my s4 avant 2001.

    The top mounts are cheap enough to replace for piece of mind. Check all your bushings in the control arms and then replace as necessary.

    The lower rubber isolator isn't going to die as quickly as the top ones would.

    Like already said this is a good time to replace the top hats and look into the control arms etc. As these cars have higher mileage for the most part most are in need of control arms as well.

    If I can help you with anything let me know.

    Thanks,
