What else to buy when getting new struts and springs?

[Mike93]

I have decided to go with the KYB-GR2/Eibach set-up. Are there any other parts I should buy in case I have to replace anything? I don't want to be running to parts stores, would rather buy up front and return if i don't use them. Thanks, Mike

I would get these too subframe connectors 89 bucks from www.prosuspension.com or from Toolman here on forum and front and back strut tower braces 23 bucks shipped part number 12456148 www.gmdirectparts.com.i thing their may be some bushing you want to buy,and someone will respond to that but i would stress these ive stated above,it wont drive like a taurus no mo. thumbs_u

Yeah I was planning on the GM strut tower braces. Had considered subframe connectors but that may have to wait a while. Anyone know what bushings I may need??? I've never taken a Taurus suspension apart before, have no idea what's going on down there!

When I did mine I replaced every "wear" item. See this link: http://www.shotimes.com/php-bin/images/trwsuspension.jpg

You may also want to replace those wotn uber bushings with something better. Shameless group buy plug: web page

When I did mine, I replaced:
Both halfshafts
Outter tie rod ends
Steering rack
Both lower control arms
94 endlinks
Would have done motor mounts but Autozone has the wrong part listed
Rear endlinks
Strut mounts

rlw001-thanks for that schematic. I will probably pick up some upper srut mounts just in case. New steering rack will be going in in a few months. I'll probably leave everything else as is for the time being. Thanks all for the help, Mike
