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

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? - Andrew |

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! - Andrew |
