Yes, I did in fact do everything at once. The suspension was so tired, that it made sense to do it all at one time. Everything that was worn out was replaced. And yes, it did go from total squishy to rock hard. I'm trying to give myself some time to let it settle. I love the feeling of the thicker sway bars...the handling now is incredible tight, and I'm a big fan of that.
Thanks for the advice. I just picked up a lower driver's seat frame, since mine had a broken mechanism in the seat height, so it will be going in for one more round of upgrades.
I've restored numerous other cars over the years...I made the initial mistake on my 900TC of putting Bilstein Tourings in that, and they were WAY too soft. Upgrading to HD's were just right. But every car application is different, and you learn the hard (no pun intended) way.
