Front end re-build
I've decided to finally fix the front end of my Camaro. I've got most of the parts lined up but want to make sure I'm not missing anything. So, please check my list
Moog Front End Rebuild Kit
Energy Suspension Hyper-Flex Complete Bushing Set
Front 32mm & Rear 21mm Sway Bar Set (Solid)
Edelbrock 87-92 Camaro/Firebird V8 w/ TPI Or TBI Strut Tower Brace
Tubular Steering Brace (Wonder Bar)
KYB 4 GR-2 STRUTS
Tubular Sub-Frame Connectors (Spohn)
Any special items I'm missing?
Still looking for the right springs though. I do not want to drop the car, I already bottom out enough because I live in a area thats very hill-y. Any recommendations?
One last question, how hard is it to do springs? I've done them before, but that was on my friends accord(
)
Car will be a daily driver until I finish the engine, then will be a street/strip car.
Thanks for the help guys.

dont forget A arm bushings either.
as far as the coils, the fronts arent that bad but be careful lowering the a arm cuz they will shoot right out. the rear are easy if you lift the car on its frame and have no load on the rear, you can literally yank out the coils and put them in as well. the rears are easier than the fronts. but if your doing a front end rebuilt, that would be your best chance to swap the coils then.

Re: Front end re-build
Moog replacement springs will do fine. You can get them through Summit or O'reillys (might be local pickup) for a fair price. There's a federal mogul site that will cross reference their part numbers to the vehicle year/model. Or try a search, there was a recent thread where several posters recommended some moog spring part numbers. Try:

Re: Front end re-build
Don't forget the upper strut mounts!!!!!!!! And get the ball joints replaced while you have the a arms off the car.
