I am planning on dropping my car with Megan coilovers in a couple weeks. It is a gs300 with 235k miles. I bought it with 179k and had it for 5 or 6 years. Only suspension part I have replaces is lower ball joints.

I have order roca lower control arm bushings and new ball joints today. I am wonder what else I should replace before dropping the car. The car pulls to the passenger side a bit on the freeway at times but could be cheap ties, bad shocks or bad allignment. After dropped I plan to take it for allignment and have it fully checked but I just trying to see what else I should just do while i am messing with it this weekend.

 

Since getting the car at 179K and your now at 235k with only the lower ball joints getting replaced thus far, I'd look at checking various things such as tie rods, bushings, and upper/lower control arms. To lower the car with perhaps the original suspension parts still on the car is pointless. I'm lowered and have not reached 100K yet and will be replacing the parts I mentioned above very soon. At that mileage, I would focus more on the maintenance first.

 

Is it better to get new arms than just replacing the bushings? I bought the roca bushings but if it is better to get arms i will just save the bushings for later.

 

In for some info. I've read Daizen bushings arent that great with lowered cars. Any other brands that gives you your bang for the buck?
