[V8] Suspension Refresh

[Coleman, David]

I've got koni yellows set at full soft w/ h&r springs, and this setup is sweet. Not too harsh, and carves the sweepers and chicanes like buttah.

Hi All,

The suspension on my V8 is getting a little tired so I'm looking to bring some new life to it.  This is my daily driver and now has 190k on the clock - as it is a daily driver, I'm not necessarily looking to bring into rock hard racing shape!  :)

As part of the job, I'll have the springs replaced and am curious what some of you have used when you replaced them?

I'm not totally sure of everything that will need to be replaced, but assume it will include various bushings and potentially the wheel bearings as well.  It has also been brought to my attention that the strut mounts are dealer only and while pricey, really should be replaced.  It has been suggested to me that I could convert to the urS4 setup for an extra $40 or so and future changes will cost $40 instead of the $260 for the V8 specific ones - anyone have any experience or heard anything about this option?

Any thoughts, BTDT, or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin
