      Total suspension overhaul

      I've decided to do a complete overhaul on my Aveos suspension. I've done the rest of the families aveos piece by piece as needed, but I want to go all out on mine for better ride and control. I'm tired of floating around corners and thumping on every bump. Below is the parts list I'm looking at so far. Any suggestions for other things I should hit while I have it that torn apart? Or suggestions on better parts? Some bushing or bolt I've missed?

      H&R Spring Set - #50701
      2x KYB Shock - #343423
      KYB Strut - #333417
      KYB Strut - #333418
      2x MOOG Strut Bellow - #K90460 - Randomly in my garage, can't remember why
      2x KYB Front Strut mount - #SM5451
      2x KYB Rear Shock mount - #SM5452
      MOOG Lower Control Arm - #CK620164
      MOOG Lower Control Arm - #CK620165
      2x MOOG Sway Bar Link - #K80502
      2x MOOG Inner Tie Rod End - #EV800577
      MOOG Outer Tie Rod end - #ES800033
      MOOG Outer Tie Rod end - #ES800034

      To the best of my knowledge its all factory original and I'll roll 100k this week. Springs are a want (1.5" lower front, 1" lower rear), shocks are definitely way to soft. I have a clunk and loose feeling in my passenger front that is probably the ball joint or control arm bushing, so might as well do the whole thing. Tie rods may be fine, so I might not use them, but would rather have them on hand. With 4 Aveos left in the family someone will need them eventually. Mounts and links are a 'while I'm in there' since I think the OEM ones were crap. Wound't bother with the bellow, but since I found a set in my garage, why not? And this is all kind of a present to myself, to get the car to a basically perfect ride.

      The clunk and weird cornering feel is probably a bad lower ball joint

      Finished the rebuild. Passenger front strut was leaking. Both shocks has no resistance left. All the various joints were loose, but not really bad. Drive to alignment shop was sooo much better!
