Original post:
When I bought my '02 P5 the suspension was pretty spongy and I knew that I'd need to get it all fixed eventually... but damn, took the car into Brake Check and they told me that I needed all 4 struts changed ($135/ea) and also the front stabilizers (for sure) and the rear ("suggested") ($35/ea). Total price + labor quote: $1050.
Well given how the struts are https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) and the front control rod/sway bar link is https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) with the rears being https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)(*) I figure I'll grab a 12-pack, a friend, and change those out without BC.
(*) I have no idea if Febest is any good. Any suggestion?
But hey, while I'm at it.. is there anything else I should change out? Strut mounts maybe? Any bushing, etc? When ordering these, what spares should I order alongside? Bolts, nuts, etc
