Default Got Coilovers, what else should I replace while I'm in there

Hey Everyone,
I just got married and my wife got me some Tein Basic Coilovers for my 95 SC300 as a wedding gift. This will be my first time messing with the suspension so I'm sure I have a lot of other things that need to be replaced since the car is 14 years old now.

What else should I do to the suspension while I have things apart to install the coilovers?


Thanks

You can probably check your control arm bushings and see if they need changing. Most likely the lower ones need replacing. Also check the sway bar endlinks. Parts are cheap to replace, but the labor will get you if you're having someone else do it.

Congrats on getting married!

+1 on the steering rack.
