front: tension rod bushings
front: control arm bushings
rear: end links and bushings
rear: sway bar bushings
rear: lower control arm bushings

Do not replace the upper control arm bushings. It binds up the suspension too much. Victoria British sells a kit to do both the upper and lower control arm bushings but only do the lower. If you buy the kit I'll split the cost with you and buy the other half of the kit from you. Let me know....

How about... no.

See my question was already answered!

Searching doesnt always bring up the right responses.

I love those dancing cartoon characters on the bottom. Where did you get them from? I could watch them for hours.

how low can you go on the stock rear suspension before the watts link binds up too much.

paradas are available in a 205/45/15. I was thinking of getting these and the ground control coilovers to lower the car down further. With the 45 series I want to get the fender down to the tire lip.

tire LIP or top of the tire? tire LIP would look rediculously low, assuming you mean the inside lip, btwn the rim and the tire......

Not sure on how low you can go. I wanna go as low as possilbe tho.
