I have a 05s that is currently lowered, I am looking to take it back to OEM, I have purchased strut mounts and coil springs and struts and springs for the rear. (Just replaced the front struts about 2k miles ago) I also purchased mounting nuts. What else will I need? Just looking to go back to stock height for the winter.

 

Are you on lowering springs? If you want to be able to go between lowered and a respectable ride height for winter, I'd invest in a good set of coil overs. I'm not sure their top ride height level, but ST coils here are the best bang for your buck coil over. Maybe look into them as an option. Otherwise, depending on what your current lowering set up is, (i.e. just springs or a shock/strut and spring combo), you'll just need struts/shocks, coils, and new front/rear mounts may be a good idea depending on when they were replaced last. If needed, we have a Rear Shock and Spring Replacement here and Front Shock and Spring Replacement here to help you with your project.

 

i agree with pelican. If you want the stoch height get coil overs. Sounds like you have the money to. Where do you live i think getting it to stock is a bit overkill.

 

Bump stops on the front and rear upper shock monts on the rear. Also get the upper and lower spring pads.

Yea the reason I am wanting to go back to stock is last winter I did about 700 worth of damage to my bumper, sash ate and radiator housing. Ripped the lower part of the bumper and splash plate off. Broke the clips off the radiator housing. Ended up just fixing it myself but don't want to go through that again.

 

People don't seem to understand that anything less than stock height in the winter is just unmanageable. I live and WNY and can't lower my car at all since it's a dd. Winter driving isn't possible with a lower ride height.

 

I don't know of any coilovers that get you all the way back up to stock height.

 

Lowered in the winter you have to worry about hitting things and damaging the underbody. Or at least get a skidplate. Stock ride height is the best for control and clearance.

 

That's why I am buying everything OEM

 

Let me know if you need anything more

 

ECS Tuning do you happen to have any OEM front coil springs 05 mini s, 6speed sun roof
