Looking to replace suspension - 69k miles...

[pfloyd09]

2015 EB at 69k miles. Daily driver, plus fun on the back roads. Beyond time to replace shocks/struts, and could use some advice before I go much further.

I am about to buy the parts below, and am wondering if there is anything else I should replace/add while it's up on the rack. Any kind of bushings or maintenance items that should be considered?

What you have listed will be a great daily driver setup-- nice choice. Consider holding off on the vertical links unless your OEM ones are giving you issues. Use that money towards the Steeda bumpstops and the roll center correction/bumpsteer kit; your front end will be good as new (much better actually) and the adverse effects from the lowering the car will be subdued. If there are still funds in the pot I recommend getting the strut tower and firewall brace if you don't already have it on your car.

All this together and you'll have a tight, great riding daily.

I would add the Steeda alignment dowels for the BMR CB005.

Thanks for the thoughts!

I looked into the parts you mentioned. I haven't lowered anything at this point. Will the new shocks/struts lower the ride, or are they just good to have in general?

New shocks and struts won’t lower the ride; if you’re in there doing springs you may as well update the dampers. Especially considering you’re at 69k miles

Lowering springs are part of the package u listed. Though not required, the bumpsteer / bumpstop kit is recommended. Lots of owners do just camber bolts and skip the bumpsteer kit bit usually still get the bumpstops with no issues.

Just put the comfort package on my car last weekend. I went with the bump stop kit and the caster/camber plates as well. I did not install the bump steer kit. The car drives like a dream and the steering feels the same as factory. No floatyness at all. This is still without an alignment. Taking the car to steeda this week to do the alignment. You’ll be very happy with this kit.

OP you may want to wait on the Koni active shocks that may come out next month from Steeda and see how the reviews are and price difference.
