Another "While I'm in there" thread
I'll be replacing the stock struts and shoks on an 85.5 NA with a new set of Koni Sports. I'm sticking with the stock height springs for the time being. Any old hardware replacement recommendations while I'm poking around the struts??

Go ahead and get new springs.
Seriously, man. They're cheap, even for new ones. 200lb/in won't be too rough at all; the stock ones are like 120lb/in.
Unfortunately you gotta do something about the back end, and although torsion bars aren't too expensive, installing them sucks...
If it was me I would get the paragon adjustable ride height kit while I was at it, too, and make sure you check out your strut mounts. Experienced any weird popping noises? KLA monoball upper strut mounts are cheaper than the stock ones, and camber plates aren't too expensive either.

Thanks for the input. If I go with 200's on the front it should drop 1" + / -. I should be able to drop the rear 3/4" by adjusting the rear eccentric according to this procedure.......
