Its time for a suspension upgrade. Please help!!!
I'm just wondering what parts should be replaced? It's an 02 with 80K miles on stock parts. I know. I know! its over due!!!!
I'm def doing shocks, im leaning towards konis but im not sure. i dont NEED a bad *** smooth ride, but i dont want crap either. maybe slp blisteins???
I'm def doing springs, maybe hotchkis, or someting similar, nothing too low, just a 1" drop around, maybe 1.5" in the front. i know slp shocks and drops dont go well so Ima def call sam strano.
At the moment my suspension squeaks like a 70 year-old couple having sex on a rocking chair! I'm guessing this is because the bushings. Does that sound correct?
SO...thats my major concern, what type of bushings should i get? How much?
What else should i consider replacing? Thanks everyone!

For the Suspension:
Strano Springs (for that nice, but not too low drop)
Koni's or Revalved Bilsteins
For the 70 year-old rocking chair sex:
Check which bushings are making the noises - Swaybar Bushings, Panhard Bushings, LCA Bushings.
I believe if it the noise increases during cornering, most likely it would be the Swaybar bushings. If the noise increases during acceleration and braking, you probably have worn out LCA rods.
Good Luck!!
