Vogtland springs were the stuff to buy a bit back- they lower and are stiffer. I still have the rear set in my garage because I have only wagons- and wagons rear end has the SLS- which I do not want to mess with.

No way is it a 20hr job. It is a 2 man job tho!.

I disagree with everyone else this is my order.
1. Sway bars/bushings. TD sway bar in front as mentioned, the 15mm HD rear is NLA afaik, but there is a guy who made his own by cutting and welding. You can have them custom made for ~300. The 126 bar is 2cm to wide but comes in a 19mm variety.
2. Springs, there is a pair of vogtlands for sale now, otherwise you can purchase OEM TD fronts and progressive rate rears
3. Shocks, Bilstein HD
4. Weight, A good reason to switch from auto to manuals
