Default want to make care ride firm/tight again.

Car has 124k miles and i am looking to get the ride back close to new as possible. car has been on coilovers since 08'. just replaced with new coilovers and new tires.

from what i looked online, i should probably replace bushings and ball joints also. Question is, can someone let me know what bushings/ball joints, etc. i will need to replace or should replace?

thanks,

Start by going to the following site and look into getting upgraded bushings from FIGs :

The common ones to get are the front LCA bushings and rear sway bar bushings. I'd also recommend the differential bushings.

Ball joints I'd not worry about replacing unless leakings or the boots are cracking and about to leak.

What new coilovers did you go with and what spring rates? Might you have any of the F-sport sway bars yet? Any any other suspension mods on your car currently?

Exactly as stated above! While you're looking on the FIGS site, I highly recommend you talk to Mike (Figs himself), as he is a suspension expert for our cars and will be able to add to the list above for sure! ^^
