Installing my new bilstein B12 on the weekend.. what do i need?

Hi guys,

I'm going to upgrade my 2010 MP3 suspension to Bilstein B12 Pro kit on the weekend..
The kit in on transit atm.. CAN'T wait to get hold on it!

I have done some research on the forum and these are the findings on things that should be done while upgrading your suspension:
1. Change the strut top bearings.
2. Sway bar bush.. (front and back or just front?)
3. control arm bush..

Is there anything else that i need to change or upgrade on top of what i have just stated above since im going to tear the suspension component apart?

Also is there any reputable installer in Melbourne that you guys can recommend?

Thanks in advance!!

You might need new front end links if the mounting positions are longer or shorter than OEM

Considered a Rear Sway Bar?

Yeah I was thinking getting the rear sway bar too.. but my question might sounds silly.. will the rear sway bar affect the drivability ?
As i will be using the car for day to day driving.. not for track purposes.

Rear sway bar is a popular mod and very streetable. You can get the adjustable versions that allow control of stiffness of the sway bar

Rsb is definitely one of the best mods you can do to a daily driven MPS3.

ermm.. ok .. getting quote now on the whiteline sway bar .. :)

btw any reputable suspension installer to recommend for south/ south eastern melbourne area?

I have a set of brand new OEM bearings if you are interested

Sorry @gurusev.. i have bought some before your msg... :(

Review on the B12 pro kit after 3 weeks:

Car definitely sit lower than before (DUH!) by about 25-30mm..
Ride is good and firm.. not to harsh and in fact it makes the car drive better..
Steering feel is much more connected to the front wheels..
If you are changing your front suspension, i do recommend to get a new set of strut top bearing as mine broke in pieces when the mechanic took it out.

the only issue:
after 3 weeks of drive around.. i have this very loud squeaking and a bit of knock sounds that coming from the rear left when go over speed bump..
Went back and check the rear sway bar bush.. took it out, cleaned it and re-lub it..
the sound still there.. :(
has anyone experienced this issue before?


Other than that i'm very happy with the result :D
