What's up guys. I'm planning on dropping my vehicle with tein s.techs and koni shocks. My question is what else should I change to do a complete overhaul. I have 160,00 miles and need new axles. I'm thinking ball joints and inner tie rods, since I just changed my outter tie rods. Should I change control arms? Unless they're bad. Any suggestions? I don't wanna get my new setup and have problems in a short time. Thanks in advance.

don't replace your lower control arms unless they are manged, which is nearly impossible to do they are very stout and rugged. This is what I changed around the same mileage as you.
Shocks
springs
sway bars
end links
lower ball joints
upper control arms and ball joints
strut mounts
tie rods (inner and outer)

Axles and CV joints shouldn't need to be changed unless there is noticeable play or excessive noise coming from them. I think the above covers pretty much everything you need to concern yourself with.

guess i better get on that too. my suspensions a little iffy. im at 164k. thanks for the list bro!

Also adding a cusco lower frame brace is a cheap and good mod to have. Don't forget the rear arms either. Rear sway bars and Moog end links are a must have and toe arms are good to replace too as they seize after years and years of driving and if you can't adjust those then you can't get a proper alignment.

Thanks sbuswell, I appreciate the help, if you don't mind me asking. Where can I purchase stuff like endlinks and bushings?

sbuswell

advanced auto parts= best auto parts store IMO. I got Moog endlinks there for $20 ea.
