you want swift thrust washers for the rear springs

they will cut down on "creaking" or popping noises on compression

I have true type rear coilovers so It's my understanding this isn't needed since it appears it's only used for divorced style shocks. Is that correct?

Alright alright you convinced me I'll do the front what's another few hundred at this point am I right :rofl2:

Are the Z1 collars still acceptable? I don't really want to get something else if those will get me most of the way there but at this point my wallet is up in flames and I'm following your lead even if it's off a cliff at this point :driving:
The Z1 collars are ok. They will still allow the bushings to flex a little. And won't transfer the noise and vibrations into the chassis.

These fit the true style coilovers. Depending on the OD.

I'll grab a pair of those as well how are they installed?
Also you still think the front bushings are worth the cost still?

One more question I've picked your brain a ton so I appreciate your help. My coilovers come with radial bearings those look to do the same thing as the thrust washers is that correct?

they can be used with both

radial bearings serve the same purpose and are more expensiv solution

Alright then it sounds like I don't need to get the thrust washers since I ordered radial bearings when I got my coilovers built.

I'm trying not to think of the damage. However my mind set is do it once and do it right that's why I went with SPL in the first place.

I'll be sure to post pictures in my build log as I start working on it. My plan is oil change this weekend and my undertray I purchased as well (got tired of pulling the plastic tray off). Then z1 collars, sway bar, and end links next weekend. Weekend after that I'm scheduled to drop my car off for it's yearly ceramic coating maintenance and detailing and maybe my custom carbon fiber steering wheel will be in. Then the next weekend I'll do the suspension and then get it aligned. Then at some point this summer I'm planning on doing a full fluid flush, diff cover, intakes, and a tune then I think I'm done for a while.
