    Default Suspension, steering and brakes done

    New bilstein HDs and suspension hardware, except front strut mounts.

    rotors, pads and brake fluid flush.

    control arms, tie rods, center link, idler, sway bar links.

    rear dogbones and sway bar links.

    Old broken stuff:
    - Drivers side strut seal.
    - Drivers side thrust arm bushing
    - Passenger side rear sway bar link bushing.

    Ride quality is amazing as is the steering response and overall handling.

    Why'd you go with the HD's instead of the Sports?

    More travel with the stock mtech springs and supposedly softer valving than the sports (per bavauto).

    Nice work. I just completed all that work in the last year, but I installed the Sach's Performance Kit instead.
