what can be done simultaneously when swaping springs?

evistor · Tue, May-05-2009, 01:59:43 AM

I'll be swaping my springs to Eibach pretty soon and was wondering what else I can replace while at it.

its an 05 model but has 112k miles on it..

So any small bits that can be replaced will help.

thanks

brake pads, shocks/struts, rtabs, rear shock mounts, front control arm bushings.....

let me re-phrase my question..

what can i replace while swapping springs that would otherwise be really hard to do if I hadn't took the springs off??

thanks

i would do koni shocks while your at it. the rear shocks are easy to do when not installing springs, but you might as well replace the fronts when you have the entire oem shock/spring setup out of the car.
