Changes, changes, changes....HELP!!
DAMN my little lady is about to go through some MAJOR changes over the next few weeks. I just ordered the following for my 93:
VALVE ADJUSTMENT (RID THAT ANNOYING TICK!!)
4 KYB GR-2 STRUTS
TANABE DF210 LOWERING SPRINGS
NEW MOTOR MOUNTS
NEW TRANSMISSION MOUNT
2 NEW FRONT COURTESY SWITCHES
DAIZEN CONTROL ARM BUSHING KIT
4 R1CONCEPTS ROTORS
4 SETS OF AXXIS DELUXE PADS
OTTO STRUT BAR
15 DING DENT REMOVAL
2 NEW LOWER BALL JOINTS
2 SETS OF REAR AXLE CARRIER & LATERAL ARM BUSHINGS
2 SETS REAR UCA BUSHINGS
2 TRAILING ARM BUSHINGS
2 CABIN FILTERS
FULL COOLANT FLUSH
NEW PCV VALVE & GROMMET
JIM WALKER'S HANDY CLIMATE CONTROL LCD REPAIR + NEW LCD LED'S
JIM WALKER'S INSTRUMENT PANEL FIX
She's at LEX of Jacksonville right now getting the valve adjustment, and I was harrassing them about the ****ty seat belt retractors, looks like they may be replacing or fixing those too!! They gave me a 2006 RX400h as a loaner for the weekend, ha ha....this thing is cleannnn, I didn't even know the car was running at first!
I took GRAND LS's idea about gathering up a LOT of upgrades and just dedicating a whole weekend to replacing them...this ought to be interesting, I'll keep you guys updated on how it goes.
PureDrifter, keep your AIM logged on so I can hit you up with any questions man!
ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR MY COURSE OF ACTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! (ie Any other things I should fix at the same time as this stuff...strut mounts? I'm debating those...should I? ANYTHING ELSE?)

That is one long list. Good for you man. Sure saved a bunch of money on alignment, and or time, and labor having to reassemble many of the same parts over and over since they build on each other.

Yea, definitely...it's without a doubt, the BEST/SMARTEST way to do it. Otherwise, you're paying over and over for labor to rip the same **** apart. It's going to be one hell of a monster to tackle, but it'll get done..and I'm almost positive my baby will be a TOTALLY DIFFERENT ride.

if ur doing all that i strongly recomend that u drop the $200 or so for UCF20 LS400 Calipers. Rotors wont be much more $ since ur replacing them anyways.
and a quick tip, if u plan on doin a stereo upgrade soon (sub mainly) then u may as well run ur amp and signal wires to the trunk since ur going to have to tear out half the interior anyways to get to the rear strut mounts.'
oh, and if u need anything dun hesitate to IM me
