http://store.summitracing.com/partde...art=KYB-341094 (2 of these)

im not sure if i should replace the balljoints yet... there are already some crappy adjustable coilovers on there... i have no idea what they are. i have lowering springs ready to replace them with http://www.autotoyaz.com/tesptlosp.html

anything i could be forgetting?

 

you forgot the beer...I ------- hate doing suspension bushings.

personally, if I was you I'd just do the whole tie rod setup instead of just boots, and as long as I was in there doing all of this ----, I'd throw ball joints in for good measure.

 

yes the beer and someone who knows wtf they are doing lol

 

you better do ball joints. ask anyone (including me at around 50mph) whose had them fail while you are driving. it's not pretty. especially when there is a 3 foot tree to stop you. totaled my 94 si hatch. it is cheap insurance if you ask me. lifetime waranty from advance is 30 a piece. the cheap ones are 10 or so.

 

ill get one kit for my EF soon.

EN FTW

 

If you're feeling cheap and daring, you should try the egay dropzone shocks. I've put them on 2 cars now, both with skunk2 springs that lower about 2.5 in, and they handled like a dream. Rode smooth, cornered well. I think it was about $150 for all 4, and they supposedly have a lifetime warranty, though it might be hard to cash in on that. The first car that i used them on i put a solid 10k+ miles on them before someone destroyed my car and I sold it to a puerto rican. The second car i drove for a week without a title and got enough tickets to discourage me from ever doing that again. :1

 

they front 2 that i picked out will cost that much :P

180 btw

still 60 bucks cheaper than my set picked out

 

well i bought the kyb gr2's and that energy suspension kit

now its to advanced to get tie rod ends and balljoints.... gd this is expensive

 

From LSD skunk2 struts are only $230 shipped. Seems like the best deal right now to me.

In the junkyard every single car I see in there with dropzone struts on them they are 100% blown out... Makes me not want them. I've seen at least 4 cars in the junkyard with those struts on them too.

I do like DZ coilovers, but the struts scare me.
