Default suspension help

First of all I would like to extend many, many, many thanks to DiscoMike for all the assistance and advice, my '00 Disco II is running superb! I just got my head gaskets replaced........OUCH!!!! Next month I would like to do a few things to the suspension and brakes. I have read on here that slotted and drilled rotors are a good choice with kevlar brakes, so I think my mind is made up with that. I will also be replacing the factory brake lines with stainless steel ones. Moving on to the suspension; I will probably be putting in Bilstein shocks as well as a Bilstein steering damper. I don't do much off roading as there arent any places, that I know of, to do so in San Antonio. Should I also have the coils replaced? What about the bushings? Any suggestions or feed back would be great. I did notice a "package" on Atlantic British that included the shocks (Old Man Emu), coils and bushings (I think they are the bushings), sorry, still trying to learn the terminology. Thanks again.

Well with that mileage you are ready for a lift, I would replace the bubber brake lines and do a full flush, Inspect and most likely rebuild the front drive shaft and other stuff depending on the wallet and the need.
You might want to call me sometime and we can go all thru it.

As per one of our previous conversations I have already had the drive shaft rebuilt. I will also be having the brake system flushed when I get the brakes, shocks, etc. in my posession. What are your thoughts on my original inquiry?

Sorry, I don't remember what inquirey you are speaking about, old age thing.
By the way, when you get ready for the brakes, go check out the DBA package Steve has, http://www.dap-inc.com/homeframe.htm
