Tnx so much
Please do not go with those parts. With an $800 budget do this:
you do not need to get the entire lower control arm assembly, just those bushings I linked. And you also don’t need to purchase new brake wear sensors if yours are still intact, in fact I’d advise against it because it would be a huge waste of money. You can have mine for just the cost of shipping if yours have been triggered.
- Buy Centric front and rear brake kit on Rockauto.com ($225)
- Buy 4 KYB shocks on Rockauto ($400)
- Buy OEM lower control arm bushings on eBay. Link here. Price has gone up since I got them! Jeeeze ($145)

Not quite. Make sure to get correct shocks for front and rear (2 of each, not 1 like I have). Also, might as well get the premium Centrics. This is what I would build:

The Centric premium rotors are great. Running them front and rear on my LS.Skip the slotted/drilled ones,,, waste of money for this application.

I agree with everyone above. I have used Centric on multiple vehicles without any issues. Don't get drilled out slotted as mentioned above. Just adding a possible crack initiation zone. I have used Akebono pads and Bosch pads with very good results.

Just cut the wire and solder it together and check the brakes every so often like they did in the old days.
