Bushings are gone...

So it's time to replace my thrust rod and sway link bars.

Being that I'm getting suspension work done. Would be wise to to get the DINAN springs same time?

That would be sweet! I've been wanting to grab a set of the DINAN springs, but dreading the installation and alignment...small drop, but if unable to get in spec I'd get annoyed. The springs are somewhere completely different from your thrust rods and links so the only reason I'd do it right away is if you intend to get an alignment right after...otherwise the labor shouldn't be beneficial except removing the wheel. You have to disconnect the upper control arm ball joint, lower strut mount, then pull all the engine bay plastics to reach the upper mount. This is an entirely different job from just replacing the thrust rods and links...both of which are easy to get to and quick to knock out.

If you need a "yes" to tell the wife, then explain that alignments are a must after replacing the thrust rods and since you're getting an alignment, you can save money by doing all of this at once.

If you do get the Dinan Springs, please post measurements! Can't find these anywhere and they would be very useful for those deciding whether or not to purchase (myself included). Would also like to see some pictures of how it looks after it has settled.
