Default Just dumped a load of money........

Well my pocket is feeling a little bit lighter........

Control Arm Kit w/ Hardware $469.95 (Blauparts....yeah I went with Ocap, gotta try and save some coin)

Front Rotors and Pads $229.94

H&R Springs and Bilstein Shock Kit $575 (I gotta deal there too)

My wife is pissed, I'm happy, and my car can't wait for the upgrades. Wish I could have held out for that damn tax rebate check to come back......

man - you should have bought the front slotted rotors and pads I had in the classifieds - would have saved you even more coin...

All in all though - looks like you got a lot of work on your hands... LOL
