Default What else do you recommend I replace?

My 104k Mile ap2 S2000 will be getting a 2009 suspension upgrade with 3k miles on it. I will be working with fellow S2Ki member who was nice enough to offer a hand in this task.

The reason I made this thread is see if you guys recommend replacing any other suspension parts that might make my car feel like new again such as bushings.

I was thinking bushings if its an easy job. Well is it?

Also how do I know which spring belongs to certain shock. :-/

Ball joints and tie rod ends. This will definitely improve the feel and handling of your car..

all 4 new wheel bearings and you will be GOLDEN !! especially since the existing ones are not bad( i assume) so you can just have them pressed out and new ones pressed in since there is no damage to the hubs.

Dmitriy,

The way the springs are placed in the picture is the correct way. Just keep them that way, same orientation and on the same shocks.

How can you tell, I am getting a bit nervous since I will be installing this weekend. I searched on s2ki and had no luck since each year seems to have different colored dots.
