    Default Upgrading suspension soon just a couple questions

    Alright so I'm going to be collecting parts over winter then doing a complete suspension overhaul.

    First thing I'm buying is going to be KYB AGX struts. On ZZP it says mounting hardware is not included so what is everything I will need or should have so I don't get ready to do it and realize I'm missing something. Strut mount? Strut Boots? Coil spring seat and insulator? Or is none of that necessary and stock will still be good? My car has 40K miles btw. Also will be getting SSC springs to go with these most likely.

    Second will be front and rear sway bars. Progress front and GMPP rear. Again what's the mounting hardware that I should have.

    Third will be STB but I have no questions about those.

    And forth as long as money isn't too tight will be trailing arms. Hardware?

    mounting hardware is reused from your original struts. same thing with the sway bars. same with trailing arms.

    dont be surprised if you break something for the sway bar or trailing arms though. you might have to buy some new hardware.

    You'll break bolts on your trailing arms. You can get them at the dealership for a couple of bucks though
