Thread: B14: Parts to replace during Strut/Spring Upgrade?

If you want something to do to really make your handling snappy after you replace your struts and springs , replace your lower control arm bushings with ES bushings (use good adhesive lubricant like wurth WU1100), ball joints, and tierod ends. You are looking at about 15 hours of work (if you have never done it before). I honestly would rather drop an engine then rebuild the LCAs but the job is worth it.

Hello Everyone + Shawn B,

Yes, that does better answer my question.

As for the upgrades I plan on doing. I plan on upgrading from a stock b14 suspension to either RM/Hyperco springs w/KYB AGX struts. I already plan on replacing the front bumpstops w/konis. Probably will do control arm + swaybar bushings at the same time. Car has 150k miles. Car will be a turbo car in the future.

Thanks for the help, I have a better idea of what I need to do now.
