Suspension performance upgrades

I have ~180k on my car. The shocks need replacing (not too bad but..) and I am going to replace them with Tokico blue shocks. I am going to Install Eibach pro springs. I ordered a rear sway bar.

The adapters from the kit are handy though. Also, the outer bearing race will stay. I cut mine off with a die grinder. Be careful no...
