What else should I change while I'm doing suspension and brake work?
Hey,
I'm swapping my suspension and brakes with Koni/GC and Teg brakes next week.
<U>Question:</U>
What other parts are worthwhile to replace while I'm down there?
Thanks.

Re: What else should I change while I'm doing suspension and brake work? (VolpeOwnsU)
Sway bars are sitting in the garage ready to be put on. Forgot to mention that.
I'm thinking more along the lines of upgrading parts that have just worn out because of years of use.
I've heard about changing the tie rod/tie rod ends? Can someone explain this?
Anythine else that should be changed. I wanna do this right the first time

replace all the bushings. make sure the shock mount bushing is firm. as well as the bushinngs at the arm to body. control arm bushings can be fixed with prothane inserts but the others may require a machine to be pressed out/in..
Paint calipers and getsome slotted front rotors.
also its a good time to scrape all the shiz off the inner fenders. an roll ur fenders to if ya going to go low with 205's or wider.
There was a myth that the 4 door rears handbrake cable is to long but its is all the same. i got 4d00r Ls rear and it was a direct bolt on other than i had to use a peice off the old arms 2 14's and a T thing.. you will see what i mean.
Drop ur gas tank.
good luck

Re: (pdiggitydogg)
K, So far I'm looking at changing:
All Bushings
Tie Rod Ends
Is there anyone that sells a complete bushing kit? Or do I have to get new OEM ones?

Energy Suspension sell them individually or as a kit.
If you want a little firmer brake, get some SS brake lines.

Re: (DOHC4life)
Here's what I've ordered so far. This is all going during Thanksgiving:
Integra Brakes all around
Goodridge SS Brake lines
Koni Yellow/GC Combo
Here's what I have already:
Omnipower front and rear camber kits
Here's what I need to get:
Tie Rod ends
Bushing kit
LCA Bolts
Where can I get the energy suspension bushing kit? Can anyone think of anything else that might be useful?
Thanks for all your help guys
