installing suspension hardware
 
I have all new hardware. My questions are;

Install dry? No lube at all.

Anti galling; should I use some sort of stuff to keep the bolts to minimize the reaction between the steel bolts and the aluminum parts?

What are peoples usual practices?

Just unbolt the old and install new parts. Dont need to do anything special.

I would use Anti-sieze in many places, especially in England & thread locker where specified in the service manual. Search the forum if you don't have a manual.

Luckyman, BY's tip is a good one, also remember that the suspension parts are supposed to be torqued with the suspension loaded (with the weight of the car)

I use anti-seize anytime bolts or screws are threaded into dissimilar metals.
especially steel bolts into aluminum parts.
I even use a touch on spark plug threads.
