    Suspension Build list

    I plan on refreshing my tired suspension on my DD in the next few months, and need a hand getting together build list so I can start putting money away. I'd like to replace the shocks, struts, and as much rubber as possible as everything is moaning and squeaking. Motor mounts and subframe bushings are good, but everything else is fair game. Beyond what I have here, what else should I add to the list?

    Billy sports
    H&R Sport springs
    Rear shock mounts (not sure what brand)
    Front strut mounts (not sure what brand)
    OEM m3 offset CABs
    front sway bar bushings

    You should probably add rear trailing arm bushings, at the least.

    A full suspension refresh would be:

    Control arms & bushings
    Tie rods
    Rear trailing arm bushings
    Subframe bushings
    Shocks
    Upper shock/strut mounts
    Sway bushings
    Sway Links

    The car may also need new springs pads.
