Default Would like to overhaul my suspension on my 430 UL

Hey guys. Tried briefly searching but no luck. So my 430's at 145k and I think it's time I give the suspension and overhaul. Here's the car itself:




She's on AirRunner struts & some crappy custom camber arms made from the stock arms to fit the 19x10.5/19x12.5 6 weds. So with all the details being said...who's done a suspension overhaul successfully and can point me in the right direction? What would it cost and where should I get it? Is there a thread with the part numbers and such? Thanks.

overhaul how, with what?
Do you want to overhaul your present suspension?
Tear it out? Replace it with OEM air?
Install another aftermarket air?
Replace it with OEM steel or aftermarket steel?
Regular spring/shock or coilover?

A bit more precise info would help

Yes - a little more effort into describing what assistance you are looking for would help.

Just an oem overhaul so she drives like new. As for my bag setup I'm happy with it however things like my control arms or different joints and tie rods and such I'd like to replace so I can drive another 145k without problems. Of course I'd like to go oem but if anyone's done this aftermarket and feels that's better i'd like to hear from them too. But to answer your question I just wanna have a good oem ride while keeping my bags and would like to know what parts to replace.

So, basically you already know what you want to do with it.
Replace all the parts you mentioned. Get the OEM parts from the suppliers that give you discounts (MyLparts for example, or check with others like)
If you retain the Airrunners, that's what you get ride-wise

Take the parts from that thread, overhaul your suspension and you should be riding like OEM new again.
