    replacing most suspension parts

    as i am in the process of redoing my accord, i am going to be replacing most of the suspension parts.

    i already have new
    front lower ball joints
    iner and outer tie rods
    sway bar link bushings
    aem front rotor kit
    all front bushings

    i still need
    rear bushings,
    rear rotors (big brake?)
    front upper ball joints/control arm (can buy together fromt ebay)
    rear upper control arm w/ ball joint (ebay)
    ss brake lines!


    i am thinknig about replacing my sei sway bars with suspension tech's, but i am not sure if they are worth the money.

    and good loonks on parts will be appriciated

    bigger sway bars F&R for sure and bigger brakes a must.

    With the upper contol arms try to source prelude fronts and for the rears get longer bolts then just add spacers to adjust the camber.

    What to you have for shocks/springs?

    Re: replacing most suspension parts

    well that is pretty cheap and I bet the same with quality. The suspension is holding your life in check and I wouldn't go with cheap parts. Last I looked you can buy new lude a-arms with Moog ball joints for about 150 a set and new bushings. Just check with local parts stores. It will cost you more now but the next time you throw your car in a high speed corner you know for sure a ball joint won't snap from the load.
    If you ever head what happened to oldschoolswap, his car was totaled from a cheap balljoint snapping on the freeway.
