ok, so from what i have read on the various threads it seem like what i need to get is the front end rebuild kits

also a set of new springs, not sure what to go with here, suggestions? i have heard good stuff about eibach but theres two types of them for our cars i think or should i go with some stock iroc springs so i don't lose ride height??

i have an 89 iroc and am unsure of the size of the sway bars (too lazy to check) would getting the 36/24mm sway bars be a good idea as well?

I already have koni reds that the previous owner put on the car so those should be good still.

is there anything else i am missing that i should also get, and also are there any special tools i'll need besides your typical toolbox stuff?

 

If you're going to lower the car then you'll need an adjustable panhard bar, adjustable torque arm, and some lower control arm relocation brackets. Also, many of these parts already come with polyurethane bushings so you may want to reconsider getting the bushing kit. And the new sway bars are a good idea. But some IROC sway bars with poly bushings and endlinks should be plenty for a street car. And no special tools beside a spring compressor. I didn't use one, but it's probably a good idea to find one.


P.S. I rented a spring compressor from AutoZone and it didn't work at all. Wouldn't fit the springs or inside the A-arm.
