Doing 5-lug conversion: What else should I do while it’s apart?

This will be my first season autocrossing the RX7 so I will wait until next season for coilovers.

For now, I am leaving the rest of the suspension stock but upgrading my 86 RX7 to 5-lug. I also need to replace this part because it is bent on my S4 (it isn’t supposed to be bent is it?)

Anyway, I am going to have a lot of the suspension apart. What should I change while I am in there? Should I do bushings?

What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Jason

If your going to do bushings, now would be a good time. Maybe replace your brakepads while your in there aswell.
