Hey guys,

I have set of Tein SS coilovers on the way to finally replace my stock suspension smile.gif

I'm planning to get a bushing kit as well as I don't think they would have ever been replaced, so now is a good time to do it since I'll have everything apart!

Is there anything else I should be doing as well? Is it a good idea to replace the rubber on the strut mounts? Although the Tein has camber adjustment on the front so it might not need it anyway?

Oh, and I haven't updated my profile yet but I sold the GT4 and just have the ZR now.

why'd you switch?

and are you sure that SS have front camber adjustment? - like a upper pillowball mount?

and no it should be fine, you wouldn't have to replace the strut mount rubbers.

(i meant: switch from gt4 to zr)

yep they got the pillowball mount, they arrived today smile.gif

I read in another post here that the strut mount rubber can get old and start making noise... wouldn't it be easier to do it all at the same time?

I switched back to the ZR as I feel its a much better daily driver. More responsive and nicer to drive, cheaper too. Each to their own I guess. Before owning it I thought the gt4 was the ****...
