Here is a list of parts for my rebuild. What am I missing?

1. Front OEM bags
2. OEM rear bags
3. OEM Compressor
4. OEM Dryer
5. Rear Shocks. Recomendations for a stock performance and feel? OEM?
6. ???? Is there anything I might as well do to the AIR at this point?
7. Upper control arms
8. Lower control arms
9. Ball joints - are the parts integral to the control arms or purchase seperately?
10. Tie rods
11. Axel bearing and Hub assembly.
12. What else am I forgetting to rebuild the front end?
13. Rotors
14. Calipers
15. Pads
16. Brake Lines???? Might have to this myself. I have always wanted to bend pipe. Giggity.
17. Any other recomendations you might have.
18. +1 EDIT - Spider Valve - thanks for the recomendation.
 
if your plannin on keeping air i'd get a spider valve from american air. from what i have read everyone swears by them, me i have coil converision and i picked up monroe rear shocks for a 96 bird and love um 37 bucks a piece i think at NAPA.
 
What will the Spider valve do for a stock system to improve it? I thought it is just to be able to 'slam' the car.
 
The spider valve routes the vented air away from the compressor and through a different venting point... this helps from the compressor being filled with moisture because the air get pushed back through the dryer in stock form...

It's a good piece, I got one for my car to help extend the life of everything as long as possible....
 
I'd just slap in a 93 one piece shaft... it should be more than enough, unless you plan on doing 140+
 
They made them one piece in 93? Why on earth would they change then? Ford! Although they must be doing something right to not need our money like the other 2 do.

In 93, yes they were a 1 peice DS

they changed it due to NVH complaints and to attempt to correct some issues with harmonics in the drivetrain.

it was changed to dampen low speed vibes in a trade off for allowing some high speed vibe <---definately not the best trade off IMHO

like you said..

"FORD".
*shakes head*
 
Spider valve does not let you dump the system without having something else such as a ray switch.

It makes the car vent much faster, has a pressure gauge, water seperator, and some other stuff.

Its awesome when paired with a ray switch.

I can tell you everytime i get out of the car and it settles it puts a smile on my face, way louder, and much faster.
 
You need strut rod bushings, sway bar links, tie rod ends, and a complete 4 wheel alignment
 
Ordered my parts through Max (great guy) and can't wait to get them installed. No more snow up here, it's time to drive.

Thanks for everyones input and help.

Both ways sound exactly the same to me..

I actually blew the line out of the dryer with the ray switch (what a bitch that was since i trashed the fitting and plastic collar) so i figure it still pumps up through the dryer and once the system is full it doesnt really matter, plus it has the water seperator and what not so I just left mine in the bypass mode permanently.
 
I noticed a difference between quiet and loud mode....

I'm want to make my own custom air ride setup... the spider valve opened my eyes to a lot of things....

Same here. I didnt notice much difference on the loudness, maybe a little but not much. *shrug* Both ways are much louder then stock on mine...lol
 
All 200lbs and 6 boxes showed up at work today. Yahoo!!!!! Bringing the car to the guy tonight, not sure when he's gonna start the work - might be a week or two as he's a little under the weather right now.
Can't wait.
Thanks to Max at 5 Star and all of LVC for all help and input.
Still accepting suggestions though.:leghumper
