Strut mount bushings & dust boot if needed. Cut the old bump stops in half to shorten them.
Leave the struts on the softest setting for the first 500-750 miles Do not leave them on the hardest settings for long periods of time |

Re: Just got new spring/shocks what else should I replace?
Sounds good. BTW what are you talking about Spectre927. What is the pillow ball mounts?
Nevermind just went to their website and found out. BTW I noticed on tire rack they have kyb strut mounts. Would those be better than the ones at autozone and such. |

Re: Re: Just got new spring/shocks what else should I replace?
The pillow ball mounts are nice, IMO not worth the money unless your racing or have nice coilover set-up.
KYB's are a little stiffer than OEM/autozone bushings |

I have the KYB's and think they are decent.
There is a clunking from the rear once in a while, can't tell if its the upper mount or the spring moving around. When she comes back from the body shop I'll check it out. http://www.kyb.com/shocks/dboots.html |

Are those adjustable coilovers? If so get your car corner weighed and it will handle even better

Tein S Tech's are non-adjustable springs

Re: Just got new spring/shocks what else should I replace?
So I got the strut mount bushings today and I noticed that the coil springs seats look a little worn. Do they typically wear out and should I replace them?
I am also wondering what the brown pieces of rubber that cover a few of the coils in the rear springs are. |
