Have bought my Bilstein B4's and 30mm Eibach springs are coming tomorrow.

Will be having them fitted asap but i just wanted to ask if there is anything else that can be replaced when they are fitted that is cheap but will refresh the suspension at the front?

Im pretty clueless about the suspension but im basically asking about things like bushes or seals or anything that can be done cheaply while its all being done?

ThanksHuh?

when i did it i got some new droplinks, topmounts with the bearings and a new spring top pan but thats just because i was building the struts off car and then just replacing the whole things

but then i'd already had the P bush and ball joints done at an earlier time

I would definitely replace the top mount bearings whilst building the struts up. They are less than £10 a side from GSF and probably ECP too.

Its had new lower arms around xmas time when the ridiculously low springs were put on...is that an expensive job?

ECP.

Couldn't see them listed on GSF, that's not to say they don't sell them just that I couldn't find them.

When people say top mount bearings do they just mean new top mounts then? Was under the impression bearings was something else....there is just top mounts here....cheers Smile
