    Items to Replace During Suspension Swap

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So, I plan on tackling black housing my headlights, the other clear lens swap I didn't finish, St coilover install, spacers, and possibly csr side skirts install in one shot.

    While I'm doing coils, I think I plan on doing hawk/ebc/akebono pads with centric rotors, moog adjustable upper control arms, and replacing the inner passenger front axle boot while I'm here. Any other items you guys recommend replacing or having on hand? I plan on buying new pinch bolts for each side and maybe the nut to go with it. Should I get a new axle bolt or bolts? Anything else?

    Might also get the Motul Trans and rear diff fluids also.

    Thanks!

    I did it on a lift with my friends collection of Snap On tool and it took us 4 hours for the passenger pinch bolt haha Ended up welding an SAE open key (Since sae is useless) on the bolt so that I could bang on it to make it turn.

    Get 034 front upper strut mounts and rear shock bump stop if the ST dont have they own?

    I also used the occasion to rust proof under the rear liner.

    It's in the hardware kit for control arms from what I remember. You might as well replace your arms or bushings while you're there
