Got the car back yesterday morning. The bushing kit + springs are amazing. I have new control arm bushings, shifter bushings, everything. The steering vibration is gone due to some new ball joints and a repair for the one stripped K member bolt. We sourced a replacement heat shield so I still have a full exhaust.
So I took it home, leveled the suspension, made a couple wheel covers (still have to make a spiral stencil for the 15's
) and replaced the blown headlight bulb. Need to get an alignment then I can throw the ground-scraping air dam back on. The exhaust is scraping over speed bumps already.
There are a few more things on my list but aside from the alignment, the big stuff's done. I'm happy to have a working car again!
Also, toying with the idea of VTEC... thoughts?
