    Suspension Help?

    I have purchased some new Bilstein HD's as well as the H&R springs for the IX. Now I'm about to have the work done and was looking for a bit of input. Specifically, I would like to know what other parts to order & which brands to keep at the top of the list. Granted, I know there could be some items that need replacing once it's opened up . . . but I'm really wondering about the basics. Things like shock & strut mounts, bump stops, control arm bushings, etc. For example: which rear shock mounts are best? AKG Motorsports, JTD, Turner Motorsports Monoball, ECS Ultimate Performance, etc.? Any links or specific parts list would be awesome too.

    My IX is a sedan and not a daily driver. I'm looking for the performance to be good enough for auto cross but not so harsh it feels like a dedicated track car. As for look - my favorite so far is audiquattrot's IX. Any input or suggestion is greatly appreciated!

    Can't go wrong with brand new OEM.

      Thanks, I appreciate that. So you don't think there's any benefit to the upgrade parts like the shock mounts? I can't really find any front strut mounts that are better than the stock set up - since I don't really care to mess with camber.

      Anyone want to chime in on bushings? Like which material is best for street? As I mentioned, I don't want anything that feels like a dedicated track car, but would like something more firm for improved handling.
