Sixth Gen Ultimate Suspension
Hey guys so got a bunch of areas of my suspension failing on my 2003 ss, planning for my suspension build just seeing if I'm missing anything here you guys can think of or your opinions on some of the parts I'm planning for the suspension build, thanks guys!
*Eibach prokit lowering springs(purchased)
*KYB AGX adjustable struts(purchased)
*ZZP strut top plates
*ZZP anti pogo washers
*GMPP Front and rear sway bars, heard the slp ones are pretty good?
*BMR strut tower braces front and rear(purchased)
*BMR trailing arms, and front and rear lateral arms
*Camber kit?
*Poly motor mounts, dogbone bushings, engine mount, and tranny mount(purchased)
*Dogbones and digonal braces(purchased)
*engine and tranny mount spacers?
*new control arms from where replacement I guess how many per wheel? And anyone use the zzp control arm poly bushings?
That's about all I can think of now I also have 4 new wheel bearings sitting here alrdy too I don't think I need new ball joints or tie rods but would that be a good idea too while I'm at it?
Thanks a lot guys, jeff

I have looked a little and seems as if you have it covered. I would like to hear what others have to say also. I have been considering doing this.
Will you or a mechanic be doing this?
If you are, this would be a great opportunity to take plenty of pics and do a write up for the HowTo section. If you do do this just remember to write it as if the person has no clue what they are doing. Always better to give to much than not enough. If you get a chance get video while riding from in the car and after to also see/feel the difference.
Cheers to you on this rebuild. Someone will chime in soon enough.

Couple updates guys haven't been able hit this thread for a while due to all the work crap delaying this project.
So as of now I have moved my eibachs to a local friend and purchased vogtlands springs for the front I will be selling the rears soon and the rear hightening springs for the back end.
Now that I will unfortunately have a lot more time on my hands coming up I will be completing a good portion of the project myself now over the winter time keep posted
