Is there anything I should replace as im doing the change over?

uprated springs have been used on std dampers hence me deciding to uprate the shocks was just wondering if there were any bushes etc that I should have a go at changing while im taking the car apart!?

Cheers

when taking a strut out youwont disturb any other bushes, but you could always fit new control arms which will have new buses fitted for about £50ish
