Putting in new struts and springs, anything else I should replace during the process?

[Partyman10195]

As the title says. I ordered a set of Stagg SHS struts off eBay for $180 shipped as well as a set of the Tokico lowering springs that came as part of the package on Corksport for $70 shipped off eBay. While everything is off should I replace anything else that could be getting worn out in my now 10 year old car? Everything as far as suspension goes is still stock what came from the factory. Im currently at around 190,000kms (118,000 miles). Thanks guys.

You should probably look at replacing the end links. Get under the car and inspect your bushings, if they look damaged, replace them.

What is the mileage on ur car?
I would look @ the strut mounts/hats Lower control arms and endlinks.

Depending on the mileage of the car outter tie rods is something I would look into as well.
When lowering your car you are putting alot more pressure on the suspension so something that is close to end of life will end up breaking as I have found out.

Yeah the car has 190,000 kms on it or around 118,000 miles.

Im from Canada as well. 190k I would def look into the other parts of the suspension before lowering it.
