for parts that is!!!

Here's the deal. I have an appointment with Wild Rides Race Cars for October 3rd. I'm really getting tired of waiting but from what I hear they're a great shop.

The scoop:
- Eibach pro-kit springs
- Steeda aluminum upper / lower control arms (with urethane bushings)
- Tokico premium performance shocks / struts (a.k.a. Tokico blue's)
- Steeda caster / camber plates
- Balll-joints
- Tie-rod ends (no, not the bumpsteer kit)
- Undecided on the front / rear sway bars
- *Maybe* urethane bushings in front end

I was originally planning on using the Wild Rides brand control arms, but after talking with Gene at WR I decided to go with Steeda. He said that their brand is a little agressive for street driving (i.e. they use solid aluminum bushings, and spherical joints on the upper arms). They're not a Steeda dealer, so it's up to me to get the parts, but he said that they've had great results with them.

SO, only 12 days to go!!!

since everything will be apart you might as well go with the urethane bushings, i realy noticed a difference after i did mine.... less wandering, and it seems beter on impacts from potholes and the like. Good thing come to those that wait.

yeah, I really want to, but I just have to worry about money. I'm goin to the Englishtown swap meet this friday, so if I can find a deal on some I'll get em. Otherwise, I might not have the $$

Suprised your not doing the work yourself, I know you've got the knowledge so it must be time your low on. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
