[s-cars] Suspension Upgrade

[tony.curran at sympatico.ca]

Evan,

Did mine this past simmer. I went with Bilstein/Eibach combo. At the same time replaced strut bearings, boots, front control arms and wheel bearings (whilst the hub was apart anyways).

Bilstein shocks and strut mount/bearing from www.drivewire.com (tho I see the price has gone up)
Springs from www.tirerack.com (I got last pair in NA but there has been a new production run since).
Wheel bearings and bellows from www.ECSTuning.com (also got slotted rotors. Also if you go with Eibach springs you will need the 13mm rear spacers for the spring perch.
Front control arms from www.germanautoparts.com

Good luck,

Tony
