[V8] Suspension Refresh - parts list

[Justin Bowers]

Perfect, thank you Jeremy!  Now to find someplace local to get the work done
- I don't have the time or the desire to do this load myself.

Thanks again,

Justin

Subject: Re: [V8] Suspension Refresh

did we (collectively) ever decide:
 
1) Correct H&R part number for V8 with UFOs
2) Correct H&R part number for V8 with G60s
 
and do we (KB or anywhere) have the correct part numbers for Koni 'yellows'?
 
How about a suspension part number page for the KB?  including make model
part number and application?  I'll make the chart if those with mods will
fill it in!  Of course I tried that with tires and no one filled it in...
grumble...  but now people seem to be more actively using the KB.
 
Suspension rebuild in my future too, so...
 
Thanks,
John

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
