Suspension help
Ok work on the car is progressing and i decided to start freshening up the suspension.
I did some searching around and found some of what I was looking for.
Most of the work i'm doing will be upfront since I'm hearing some funny noise that I'm not liking...
I know all 4 of my rotors need to be changed because they are warped. So im buying the plain brembo rotors off tire rack.
I also know my front endlinks are broken and my outer tie rods need to be changed since I never changed them when I did the balljoints 2 months ago.
The car is on 20's and lowered on BC coilovers. The front dampening is set to max soft. and the rear is set in the middle.
Is there anything else besides the following that I need to do in the front...
-Endlinks
-Sway bar bushings
-Steering rack bushing
-Balljoints (done 2 months ago)
-Outer tie rods
-Alignment
Anything I missed let me know. I had no plans on going aftermarket for any parts but if they are within the same price range i will get whatever you guys suggest.
I think i should also mention. I was parked up and i pressed on the brakes and it creaked (i heard the front left not sure if it came from the front right. rears are silent) ... this was at a full stop car in park. Any idea what that could be? I haven't searched on it yet but I figured let me throw it in.

Have the upper control arms checked for play. The ball joints in the upper control arms tend to wear especially with years of useage on NYC roads. $510.00 for the pair with discount code from Sewell Lexus. NYC dealers will charge you $500.00 bucks per side
Going to contact you later this week.
Sway bar bushings and steering rack?
