[urq] Front/Rear Suspension Updates

[urquattro at comcast.net]

Ok, yeah I was planning to switch the swaybars also if it could all be done bolt-up. I'm assuming upgraded bushings, etc. are easier to obtain for the newer swaybars and the bushings on the ones I have now are farked anyway.

So, essentially, anyone can do a "total" update if they use:

Front:
-2 Front CQ Front Control Arms
-Front CQ Sway Bar
-2 Front RR Front Ball Joints
Rear:
-2 Rear CQ Rear Control Arms
-2 Rear RR Rear Ball Joints
-Rear CQ Sway Bar

Do the subframes need to be replaced also, or can we use the early urq subframes with this settup?

Thanks again; hopefully this will end up being a good "archives" email for future reference...
