Thread: List of parts for new suspension

Ok guys so I'm looking to upgrade the suspension on my 05 Comp G with 175,000 miles on it. After many posts over the last couple weeks you guys have been very helpful and I have made a list of parts I'm looking at buying. My GP is a daily driver so I'm just looking to get it back to how it was when it was new. I'm not going to lower it or anything like that so please keep that in mind. I am attaching my current shopping cart from RockAuto and was wondering if everyone could take a look at it and give me some feedback. Do you think the list is good? Is there something else I should add? Would you change anything on the list for something different? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I looked at the springs I currently have on the car and they are still in pretty good shape so I think I'm just going to keep them. I have already ordered and received new hubs for the front (Timken) that I got from Amazon. I'm looking to get the ACDelco struts with the FE3 package that were originally on my car, but I will order them through Amazon because I can get them for much cheaper than RockAuto. I’m open to any suggestions you guys have so please fire away.

It looks good to me.
Guess you'll just do hubs when needed

I didn't notice them in your list so I was just giving you the razzle.
After all that you should be set for awhile, makes me jealous.

The hubs aren't on the list because I already have them. I ordered them a couple weeks ago because I got them cheaper from Amazon than on RA.

I live in NYC where there are rough roads and pot holes everwhere and have had 3 dorman control arms go bad on me in less than 2 years 10k miles. If you have good roads they are fine, but if not then go moog or raybestos.

Thanks for the advice. I ordered everything last night and ended up going with Moog LCAs.

have you tried those rotors and pads on your car?

I haven't received them yet but my plan is to hopefully install them this weekend if I have time. If not maybe next weekend.

I actually ended up getting just the rotors themselves with no pads because the pads I currently have can be traded in for a brand new pair at autozone. So basically I never have to buy pads again.

Ok, let me know how they work out for you. I bought the car gold ceramic pads from auto zone worst spend ever the pads made this brake dust that burnt into the paint and stuck too the rim.
