Suspension upgrades are always fun, riding some twisties going 50 is much more fun than going 150 in the 1/4 mile. And since it is what keeps your ride smooth I would say that's a very good choice Tim.

depends on what you need done. You could just do struts and mounts and your car will feel 100 times better. Rick went all out

well i know i need struts and springs. Probably mounts.

Im not the smartest when it comes to suspension. Whenever i hit a big enough bump i hear a squeak come from the front driverside suspension ( i know...sad). frown im not sure what the cause is though..

I would hafta say springs and any other moving/interface parts. Depending on the age of the struts, then I'd do struts. If your springs are bad, it's prolly putting really premature wear on your struts and related other parts. Perhaps, and it is a long shot, even your frame.

My receipts are spread out between my car, my house, and my toolbox. I might be able to gather them up and total them all on Sunday. Maybe. More to follow.

it's a really far reach. There would hafta be some MASSIVE extreme heavy duty conditions with no suspension dampening left. but it is possible.

the thing(no clue what it is) that is circled in blue is in really bad condition on the front driverside...could that be the squeak?
