'08 TL base A-Spec upgrade question

Hi All,

I have around 125K on the TL now and the ride is getting pretty bumpy. I think i'm going to put on the A-spec kit soon but I'm wondering if there is anything else that needs to replaced while I have it apart?

Are there shock mounts that are most likely worn out? Any other bushings?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Get it while you can. Just did this with my '04 MT. Love it.
You get the whole units, not just springs and struts.

Front compliance bushings, heeltoe sells a complete kit for it or you can buy the OEM ones that'll be slightly more comfortable but won't last as long.

Be sure to get an alignment a few days after you are doing setting everything up so the car can settle.

Sounds good. So aspec suspension and new compliance bushings and I should be good?

Would heeltoe do any sort of discount if I bought both items from them? Any where to get this stuff cheaper?

Thanks again for the help!
