Yes!

Finally, I have the Moog ball joints, Moog coils springs, and ES bushings replaced on the front end of my ride. A huge thanks goes out to FbodTrek and Sonar for doing the work. :yourock: Of cousre, I tried to help out as much as I could, but those guys were so familiar with the car, all went well.
As far as ride goes, the diference is night and day. I had no idea how bad it was.
So.. much props the those two dudes who were willing to go the extra mile for a fellow third gen-er.:rockon:

Lol.. yeah.

We figured since we didn't hear from you after you left the shop, you must have been dead.

Phew, I am glad all those extra parts that were laying around the shop werent off of your car.. or.. were they?

dudes

I was so tired saturday... I had to catch up on some sleep. I got up and around about 1pm. I took so much of your time Friday... I didn't want to take up any of your time on Saturday.
If you have time Saturday.... lets drop the rear springs in. Send me a PM so we can set something up.
Peace

Well.. unlike the front springs, the rear springs are very easy to do. Seeing as how Aaron and I can get the fuel tank out in 30-45 minutes, we can get the springs out in 1/4 that time at least. That is, unless you have LCA or Panhard bushings we need to change :P

After al that work.. the last thingI want to hear is something about bushings
I'd rather buy the panhard new with bushings already on the bar. With new springs and a decent set of shocks, I am sure it would feel way better than what I have now.

Actually

The LCA bushings are apiece of cake, as are the panhard (it helps to have a flat surface to push from)
