What parts would I need to completely replace entire suspension system?
 
I'd like to completely redo my suspension. I'm at 112,000 miles, it just seems so worn out, and from what I can see without lifting up the car, a lot of the suspension is rusted from winter driving.

Most likely I will go with the Bilstein B6 + RCE Yellow combo. Seems everyone is happy with this combo.

Aside from Rear LCA & Front Camber bolts, what else would I need to grab to do this. Anything that might be worn I'd rather replace for peace of mind.

I would recommend checking and replacing worn bushings.

All those mentioned plus ball joints.
Tie rods inner/outer if they look beat to hell.

I would check sway bar bushings and end links for sure. Mine were both completely toast sometime before150k miles

Definitely look into the white line outrigger bushings for the diff! Quick and easy

Thanks for the responses. Writing all this down to research a plan. What about the sway bar itself? Mine looks pretty rusted.

I've been meaning to put together a detailed post on this subject.

Out of curiosity, how bad does your swaybar look? Got a pic?

That would be awesome!

I can take a pic in the next day or two.

A few other questions.

I see listings for B6's with and without blue boot. Is there a reason why there are two versions? Does it come with boot? If not is there an aftermarket one I can buy?

Also, would anyone recommend any of the bushing kits? There's the Whiteline kit that comes with the camber bolt kit I'd need anyway. Worth getting anything else?

We get our Bilstein B6 direct from Bilstein....I'm guessing the different pics you're seeing are just people taking photos with the boots left off.

Post coming today!
