I'm getting mixed reviews and I want to make sure I approach this carefully before I have my shop do my suspension work. I rather be safe than sorry. Thanks in advance for your responses!
FYI...I'm having Adjustable LCAs, Panhard Rod & Rod support and Rear Sway Bar installed.

All my BMR stuff came with the necassary hard ware...
The rear swat bar should come with what you need from the manufacture you go with...
The pahrard bar and mount uses stock bolts..
I believe the LCA come with new hardware..

I know I read CrazyAl mentioned using loctite when re-using stock bolts. Im not sure which ones...or if he meant all of them.

Interesting. Everything I ordered is from SPOHN...except for the Panhard Rod Brace (SPOHN doesn't make one) so I hope it's the same for them.
ALSO, which LOC-TITE? They sell a bunch of them with different degrees of strength....thanks!!!

Im not sure which kind..I just remember it being blue. I know the tubes come in different colors but does the actual liquid differenct colors too? Asfar as Spohn stuff is concerend...I ordered a Spohn combo panhard and Spohn combo LCAs from Fast Toys. They arrived monday and neither had any hardware...just instructions and tags indicating the part numbers; Oh and a decal! heh.
P.S. Fast Toys is a great e-tailer to deal with...good communication and fast shipping.

Generally, I blue Loctite all suspension nuts and bolts when making changes, just to be safe. It only takes a second and adds a little peace of mind.
