    iC suspension overhaul

    In the midst of gathering parts for a suspension overhaul on my 87 iC. So far

    Control arms w/ off set ca bushings
    new tie rods
    motor mount
    Tranny mounts
    Powerflex poly subframe, diff, & trailing arm bushings
    inner/out cv axle boots
    Front and rear sway bar end links
    Front and rear upper shock mounts
    Front upper and lower spring pads
    rear upper and lower spring pads
    H&R touring cup kit

    Anything else I am missing?

    Sway bar bushings is the only thing I can see, maybe do the guibo while your in there replacing things of that nature.

        Good quality rubber parts are fine, but poly lasts longer.

              List looks good. PM me or post who much you spent on every thing once ordered. I did every thing on my front end top to bottom last spring.
              I want a nice set of smoked MHW's (I know, get it line)

                I'd love to see pics when you are done. I like the fact that the cup kit only drops the rear by 3\4in since my sits low enough now and most lowering kits drop it an inch+.

                  Im about a month away from ordering every suspension part needed for a rebuild. My suspension is utterly shot. Appreciate the list, and any additions we should need.

                  Where are you ordering most of it from?

                      Pelican Parts... And before anyone gets on their high horse how other companies are better, over the part year i have done several orders and they have been great with customer service and pricing.

                        Is this a build or a suspension list request?

                          That's what i have going so far... some i have, some still need to be ordered. Just seeing if there is anything else to add while I've got it apart

                            Have you tried pricing vs. AutohausAZ? When I did my refresh I came out a few bucks ahead there versus Pelican.

                              Rear strut mounts arent on the list. And the spring pads aren't really all that needed, at least not for the non verts. I took mine out to lower the car an extra 10mm in the rear
