1999 9-3SE 134K mi. Ordered:
- Sachs OEM strut inserts
- OEM strut mounts / bearings
- OEM rear shocks
Need advise on springs. My car has driven virtually without front struts and clearly deteriorated rear shocks for close to a year on severe roads (Washington DC and Philadelphia). Should I buy a set of springs, control arms, etc etc?? Where can you direct me to purchase such and what do you recommend based on above purchase?
Also, what else should be considered with this repair (ball joints/boots, other steering improvements, etc)? I hear a good amout of discussion on upgrading the sway bar, adding 6-point brace, etc. Again, can you recommend a vendor? The goal is to have this car driving like new again. I have owned it since 18,000 miles. It does not drive like that anymore -- far from it.
On a side note: I found my mechanic via his post on this website. Peyton in Springfield, VA (DC Suburbs) is absolutely superb -- highly recommended and far exceeds expectations in every regard.
Thanks kindly,
Ryan
