Suspension Renovation Options

[Valo666]

Well, after having my car for 3 years now, my car makes a ton of noise from the suspension. It clunks, squeeks, chirps, bangs, etc. So, now i got some time and im making enough $, i figured i would do a complete suspension renovation.

So far, my suspension consists of GT4 rear strut bar, J-Speed front strut bar, Twos'R'us end links (F+R), poly uerthane sway bar mounts up front, S-techs and KYB GR2s.

What im planning on doing is gettin ST suspensions swaybars, new controll arms for the rear, TRD strut rod bushings (on there way right now), new ball joints, tierod ends, upper strut mounts or camber plates (depending if i can find some cusco ones), and re-finishing my rear subframe and front controll arms (powder coating and new bushings).

So far, i got the new ball joints and tierods and my TRD bushings are on their way. I figure after im done this, the car should ride like its brand new and factory. Ill keep you guys posted with my progress. The work should start in maybe a month or so's time. I just gotta find the parts first.

well you know what all i had done lately:

TEIN s.Tech
KYB GR2s
rear swaybar mounts
rear endlinks
new 17" rims and tyres (yes, they're an important part of your suspension !!)

just to let you know that nearly everybody that can compare before and after have said it "rides like brand new" and "it's so quiet now". no more clunking from the rear (the loose 2x4 sound), thrumming (that annoying whompwhompwhomp from the front end at 110km/h), shimmying (bent rims w/weak front springs and tired front struts) and pulling/drifting (never able to get a true alignment). You on the other hand are going "all in" with the reno. you will definitely see, hear and feel like brand new, we are talking bright shiny penny new, first leaf on the tree new, wobbly legged foal new. do you denote the jealousy in my tone yet? looking forward to the updates, brother.

peace.
