Hi All,
The time has come to replace the springs and struts on my 95 ATX.  I 
have had a broken spring in the front for a couple years now, with the 
old tires I had at least 1/2" of room between the tire and the spring.  
With the new tires I got today, I only have about 1/8" clearance.  It 
must be done!
I'm pretty certain I'm going to go with Tokico's and Eibachs, but I'm 
open to suggestions.  It seems like that combo swaps in nicely, I really 
don't want to get into cutting springs, which I hear you have to do with 
the Moog cargo coils.  I don't really want to replace it with a SLO part 
either.
So if I get the Tokico's and Eibachs, what else do I need to buy?  Strut 
bearings, bellows, etc?  I've never done a FWD suspension before, it 
looks pretty straight forward though.  I'm just not sure what I can save 
and what I should replace.
Looking forward to suggestions, thanks!
Jack
