Default How does my parts list look? Anything you'd add/change?

Well, I've already got most of the stuff I need for my suspension overhaul, but I need your opinion on the smaller stuff I've yet to buy.

AC Delco strut mounts
AC Delco spring insulators
AC Delco inner tie rods
AC Delco outer tie rods
AC Delco rack and pinion bellows/boots
Timken Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly

↑ That's what's in my shopping cart at Rock Auto. I keep reading that you should only get GM strut mounts or Moog ones.

Now gmpartsdirect.com won't allow international orders and just getting 2x GM strut mounts (+shipping to Iceland) from buygmpartsworldwide.com is like $500... yeah not gonna happen. So getting everything from Rock Auto would be nice.

Isn't there a possibility that the $70 AC Delco strut mounts are the same as the $124 GM ones?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I inspected the rear bump stops a few days ago and they seem fine. I can't imagine poly bump stops on a lowered car being comfortable when the car bottoms out.

Stuff I have sitting in my room - don't really need opinions on that
Koni 4/4 shocks (came with all the hardware)
UMI on car adj. panhard bar w/poly bushings
UMI non-adj. LCA's w/poly bushings
UMI LCA relocation brackets
UMI 35mm and 22mm sway bars
UMI non-adj. upper A-arms w/ball joints
BMR 1" lowering A-arms w/ball joints
Hose mod will be done

Strano springs will be bought next week. TQ arm and SFC's are on my "maybe later" list.

$78.79 for the one on the right and $68.99 for the one on the left. So around $148.

I can't see if there's a warranty on them or not.

KYB makes some good strut mounts, and the rack boots can be subbed for some cheapies. If you have the money I say AC Delco is the way to go.
