Default Need Some Advice?

Today I installed a set of Tokico shocks and the Eibach front and rear sway bar kit. Took about 4 hours. Now this is whereI need some advice.I was also thinking of getting the Mopar rear tension strut kit and Energy Suspension bushing kit. With the Eibach front and rear sway bar kit it did come withall new bushings, so would the Energy Suspension kit be worth it? Let me know what you think. Thanks

nope not worth getting the kit. if anything just get a set of lower control arm bushings and you should be good to go.

Just go to EnergySuspensionParts.com and buy the pieces that you need (in either black or red). The kit will come with front and rear endlinks (which you have), front and rear swaybar bushings (you have these too), tension strut bushings (mopar upgrade will include these), shifter bushings, and front lower control arm bushings. That website is the cheapest I have found these kits anywhere.

why would he buy a kit that contains 5 pieces, 3 of which he already has? that's just stupid lol. just get some lower control arm bushings and you're good to go. if you really want the shifter bushings get some boogers, they're $20.

[/align][/align]Before you post a comment I suggest you read my entire post. The FIRST sentence in the post states: [/align][/align]
Just go to EnergySuspensionParts.com and buy the pieces that you need (in either black or red).
[/align][/align]I then told him what the kit comes with in case he wasn't already aware. I never told him to buy an entire kit. But that website is cheaper than any other ES dealer even for just pieces. [/align][/align]Lower Control arm bushings are installed easiest with a hydraulic press. Some people burn them out but I don't recommend it, its kind of hack. Once you install the kit you'll need an alignment, so be sure to set that up afterwards. The factory service manual states that you should remove the entire control arm to install these, and its right. They're a PIA to put in, but not impossible.[/align][/align] [/align]

No need to fight ladies, there is plenty of me to go around (J/K).Seriously though,I do have access to a shop press and a torch (if all else fails). Another quick question, is there a manual or website to find the torque specs for our cars?
