Wow. You don't even have to use the "Search" function for data on this one. There are other ongoing threads on this one.

I asked the same question and received no answers in this thread.

So the data I've gathered thus far is in that thread and in this one, designed to be a Suspension reference for us 2nd gen'rs.

Different cars and driving habits are going to cause your parts to wear differently, so I'm learning there's no 100% correct answer about what you currently need to replace. Among the potential parts are:

Struts
Strut Mounts
Dust Boots
Shocks
Springs
Sway Bar replacement or upgrade
Strut Tower Brace addition

As you find parts and learn things from your overhaul, don't hesitate to chip in to the 2nd Generation ES Suspension Reference thread so we can add it.
