Finally got some decent coilovers for the 420a, and im going to install them soon.The car has been sitting for about a year so while im there what else should i replace? i just don't exactly know what else is there, e.g. bushings controller arms etc?

btw the suspension is all stock and i plan to go fast so i want to change it all
 
Check all you balljoint boots and axel boots for any tears. If so replace the arm it's on if the joints bad. Check the sway bar end links for play if you have them. That's all I can really think of unless you want to replace all bushings with polyurethane which makes a world of difference.

sounds like a plan to me, any suggestions? guess i can replace that sway bar too, all that stuff is old and stock, now if everything checks out say no tear, and joints are good, will it make a difference still replacing them? i know if it aint broke dont mess with it, but theres about 135k on the chassis
 
Putting all polyurethane bushings in place of my stock ones made the car handle so much better. Just felt more responsive. But it really depends on your goal whether or not its worth it. Also look into a rear sway bar before a front considering you're fwd.
 
If you haven't replaced your rear upper control arms, you could replace them with rear 3g tubular upper control arms, other then that just replace anything that looks to be worn out (ex. rotors, calipers, pads, brake lines, and so forth).
