What else should I replace while my suspension upgrade is done?
New shock mounts, new bump stops? other miscellaneous components that will be accessible while its all apart? Should I stick with OEM or is there a cheaper better alternative? Car has 116k. (06 IS250) I feel like the car rides on wooden wheels now, after doing some reading I'm suspecting the shock mounts but I'm not sure, i have never done a suspension change nor do i know how integral all of these parts are. My setup will be Koni FSDs and Eibach Pro springs in case anyone was curious.
Might want to check out your front lower control arm bushings and all 4 sway bar end links for excessive play. bump stops don't need replacing unless yours are falling apart. I would however replace all 4 upper strut mounts while youre at it.
