H&r coilovers use bilstein shocks for the street performance set and koni for the rss coilovers .
They are both rebuildable , if you've got a local track suspension shop they should be able to help , or contact h&r in Washington state .

I used a full set of powerflex poly bushes in my suspension , a great upgrade .

Performance Shock Inc. @ Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, CA can rebuild the shocks if I recall correctly.

Bringing this back up to hopefully get some more input. Does anyone have experience with the non-OEM control arms? I'm considering the ECS parts as an alternative.

The Merle German control arm bolted up perfect- think they are 120.00 each
Porsche twice as much and also German- I am sure you will get same specs
At 1/2 the price

I just replaced my front control arms and "coffin arms" with the EPS replacements (Poly bushings, and replaceable ball joints). Feels great, and the price was right - $579.00 all in.
