    I am replacing the suspension and components on my car and need help completing my list of what to replace.

    This is my list so far:
    -Koni Yellow Shocks and Struts
    -Strut Mounts x2
    -Strut Bump Stop x2
    -Strut Tower reinforcement Plates x2
    -Shock Mounts x2
    -Shock Bump Stop x2
    -Shock Paper Gasket x2
    -Shock Tower Reinforcement Plates x2

    -FCAB x2
    -RTAB x2
    -Front And Rear Swaybar Bushings
    -Front And Rear Swaybar Endlinks

    Anything I'm missing or don't need?

    It depends on how extensive you want the refresh to be. I think some people re-use the bump stops.

    Here's some of the stuff I ordered to replace the shocks and struts with Koni. I haven't done the work yet, so I can't confirm if it's a good idea or if these are the right parts.

    2x Self-Locking Nut 32216769539 (for shock mount)
    2x Self Locking Hex Nut 33526773882 (for strut mount)

    2x 31336752735-MFG69 Strut Mount
    2x 31331110196-MFG9 Dust Protection Collar
    6x 31316769731-MFG926 Collar Nut (I believe these are the 3 per side for the strut mounts)
    2x 31331096664-MFG9 Spring Pad (Since the springs will be off in the front)
    2x 31331091867-MFG963 Spring Pad
    2x 33506757047-MFG604 Foam Bump Stop
    2x 31306757046-MFG963 Foam Bump Stop
    2x 33521136283-MFG36 Protection Boot
    2x 31331094749-MFG36 Protection Boot
    2x 51717036781-MFG9 Reinforcement Plate
    2x 31311139453-MFG926 Cover Cap (I'm not sure if this is the part I intended to order. I read somewhere that the lemforder mounts don't come with a dust cap and this is what I ordered.)

    Below is my suspension refresh thread. Be mindful that I have a coupe rather than a sedan, but most of the parts listed should be the same on a sedan.

    I used this guide when I did my refresh today. I think the only difference for me may have been a consolidated part number for a dust cover and bumpstop combo for both the front and rear.

    BMWCurves thank you! That made this a lot easier to do. I think I am going to go with these AKG FCAB 95A instead of the Z4M bushings. It doesn't look like these come with the brackets though, do I reuse my old ones or buy new ones? And where do I get new ones?

    I had the akg on the wife's zhp and then went to the z4m. Prefer the z4m

    I ended up going with Z4M FCABs. Just to be clear these FCABs include the retainer AND bushing, correct?
