How much did your tires, rims, and suspension set you back?

Close to 3000, for entire setup. H&R lowering sprigs/KYB-GR2 shocks is suspension setup. Not to forget the upgrades/replacements for the suspension components (replacinjg old worn out stuff, new polyurethane bushings, control arms etc.). Sigh,,still not done yet, bearings next.

Hobo, for my control arms i had to bite the bullet and I got the OEM ones online. Those stupid things were not cheap as you know. Once I got them,pressed out the bushings and replaced them with the Daizens that I had in my old one's since the bushing I ordered from Daizen were a litle over a year old and still in very good condition since the car was not being driven that much. There are several peeps here on Megans with the OEM control arms and I don't think you will have a problem with them. Mine is droppen on H&R + KYB's. I would also check on your strut rods since you are there. I will FINALLY be replacing mine within the next few weeks.
That too can cause a clunk. If he is ordering the coilovers, he wont have to worry about replacing the top strut mounts since coilovers already come as a whole unit. Just yank the old stuff and replace with the new, then adjust.
Or would the clunk be from bad strut mount plates
