brake upgrade and springs
Quick question....If I am going to do both these upgrades....is it best to do them at the same time?
Because the front struts have to come off for each procedure....right?

Re: brake upgrade and springs
What he said, I replaced springs, bushings, ball joints, and tie rods while I had it apart for brakes..
for the next upgrade it is bushings and ball joints.. almost preventative but while I have access I want to just do it.

Re: brake upgrade and springs
I also recommend doing it while it's all apart, just do it once.

PS: I HIGHLY recommend the Eibach Pro kit, my Iroc is on rails with 36/24mm bars and poly bushings.

Re: brake upgrade and springs
Yes, do it at the same time.
Also, a good hint if you really want to clean parts while you have them off of the car (way away from the car) is oven cleaner. CAUTION, this will take off paint and everything, sometimes it may take a few applications, and use care not to get it on yourself (espicially in your eyes) or anything you don't want stripped down. Then clean with soap and water, dry and paint right away before it starts rusting.
