Complete Suspension Rebuild

[Zinno_e30]

I plan on completely redoing my suspension over the winter and I am trying to gather a master list of all the parts I need. So far I have:

Blunttech's Rebuild kit (Includes):
- Control Arms
- Tie Rod assemblies
- Trailing Arm Bushings
- front / rear sway bar end links
- E30 M3 offset control arm bushings
- Rear subframe mounts
- Locking tabs

- Rust free OEM front struts
- Koni shocks
- GC Coils
- GC camber plates (Street Use)
- Strut Bar

To my knowledge, all suspension components are original (223k) besides the current JOM setup installed.

What else should I add to this list?

[mr.vang]

motor mount, tranny mount, flex disc, center bearing, all exhaust bushing.. do it while your down there.

alignment afterward

I would add soft brake lines, caliper rebuild kits, and caliper guide bushings. If cracked, half shaft boots.

sway bar bushings

[E30_fiend]

Rear shock mounts are a must

[Zinno_e30]

What brand RSMs?

[jlevie]

I like the Rogue Engineering rear shock mounts. The wear parts in them (the bushings) are replaceable and you can get the mount with street or race bushings. They are way stronger than the OE E30 or E36 parts.

Might as well do the m3 sway bar tabs and endlinks.

If you're pulling the exhaust and driveshaft out, it's good time to replace all your shifter bushings as it's easy to access then.

E brake cables, pads, springs. Wheel bearings front and rear

I am doing exactly the same thing as we speek my list is.

-Blunttech suspension refesh kit minus Bushes
-AKG Ploy cabs, tabs, subs, and diff bushes
-Bluntech performance brake package
-Braided brake lines
-Brake Caliper Rebuild kit
-GC touring plates and new rear shock mounts
-New hand brake cables
-Billie Sports
-H&R Sports
-Front and rear wheel bearings.

I would like to do more but money has run out lol. I only require it to last me a few years. Ill have new plans for the car in a few years.

Should also mention this is the first time I have worked on my suspension and I am shocked at what mechanics have done to my car.
