I'm going to be doing some suspension work (i.e. lowering springs/phb) soon and I was inquiring a few things...

Obviously the front struts will be off the car, would you recommend re-using the study bearing plates? (I believe that's what they are called)

I'm questioning this cause it will be about 150 bones for the pair



And would you replace any of the swaybar or any other bushings?


The car has 85k mi

not trying to thread hijack...have thought about doing this myself...any downfalls, or reason to wanna put it back on?

Drove it like that all last year and never noticed it being gone. I never plan on auto x or any kind of roadcourse but I do still take on/off ramps a decent speeds with no problems. I just set the shocks to stiffer settings on the street. I doubt it'll ever make its way back on.
Back on topic though like posted above, if you have the extra money go for it. I'm just saying its not gonna kill you if you don't.
