What additional parts are required or suggested for replacement when adding performance shocks and springs. I currently have Koni shocks and Eibach springs ready for installation and want to know what add-ons would compliment my new shocks and springs? Product brand name, pricing, and websites are much appreciated. thanks guys.

Did you decide on what sways to get? I have some suspension mods but have come to notice that I can use some sway upgrades.

I just put up a thread about my tc rod bushings. I just upgraded to tokikos, and eib. sportlns. I read about sway bars and strut bars but alot of the dushings do need to be replaced over time. Apparently one of the first to go out is the tc rod. Do your homework otherwise and add some bushings to the list. If you see some goo coming from the bar attatched to the frame by the front sway bar(if you have them), your looking for about a 3" bushing squrtin juices in your eye.HAHAHAHA. Anyways check it out my steering is greatly improved, next is strut bars and put in exhaust.
