    Suspension work ahead (with coilovers)

    Found out I've got a fair amount of suspension work that needs to be done on my car.

    These are parts the shop said I had to replace, so I plan to install these.
    (2) MOOG: Lower ball joint K9385
    (1) MOOG: Upper arm and ball joint CK9406
    (1) MOOG: Upper arm and ball joint CK9408
    (2) MOOG: Suspension ball joint K9736
    (1) MOOG: Strut rod bushing kit K9517
    (1) CV axle assembly NCV36034
    (1) HONDA: CV joint set (Left outboard) 44014-SE0-910

    By CV axle assembly, do they mean the drive axle? Also the car suspension has 217k on it and no replacement suspension parts or bearings. Any ideas on other things I should replace while I have the car on the lift and these parts out? I also will be purchasing K-sport coilovers. I've heard I should get a camber adjustment kit, any idea what the part number is? Already found these parts online for $460 less than the shop was charging. The labor would run me $1,400 not including coilover installation. Thanks.

    Web Store
    Looks like they're for the rear.

    Does anyone else make aftermarket parts on here for front suspensions? Is there anything better than MOOG?

    Mevo tech that rock auto carries seems pretty good from what I have. They are well above average and some items compare to moog. Considering the big cost of cv joints & axles is the core, I would get those locally and make the store match or beat competition pricing. Then I would order the susp parts from rockauto. Probably cut another 30%off your estimate with just as good a results. HEY and use our forum's rockauto discount code and save extra too
    Moog is great ok and some of their stuff is unique "SOLVERS" and by all means what I would use in some instances but UCA ready to go/neoprene bushings etc., there are other brands with more value per $.

    MOOG is what I was leaning toward. I have no doubts about their parts from what I've read. CV axle will be oem which I'll see if I can find one around here. The rest of the parts were $280 on RockAuto.com. I don't know what the discount code is. 3geez?

    Also search for online discount codes with the big name local guys for parts. Rock only gives a basic 5% discount. You can get steeper discounts typically up to 30%. a good one for advance is TRT30, just split orders to get max savings. Look for the Moog R series or problem solver parts, they tend to be a little bit better than the others

    i would upgrade to 2nd gen prelude arms if you ever plan on lowering and the ball joints are easier to change than to change the whole arm.
