We could go back to my place, if we can't find a place near by. It's about an hour and half drive tho.

I would love to go but I have work Sunday morning from 8:00AM to 2:00PM.

I installed front and rear sway bars 2 weeks ago at the Quanitico Marine Base auto hobby shop. (Dad is retired USAF)

Just a suggestion, if you guys are in the military or know someone who is, you guys might want to check out the auto hobby shop. All the tools are there and they also have a lift. It cost me a whopping $7.86 to use their facility. lol

Nice, I wish something like this could have been arranged before I threw in the towel and had the sway bars installed professionally. I'd love to join you guys. As far as mods go, I don't think I have anything else really planned for my car, the sway bars were the only thing I wanted to do. I may need to replace the rear links though in my car because I messed them up when I tried to do the sway bar install on my own (I have details in my blog post if anyone's interested: http://shahryar.net/2011/03/14/faile...y-2008-is-350/ ). But I need to research where to buy the links from, how much they cost, etc. and I don't think I'd get them in time for a meet up this Sunday.

What about just getting together for maintenance? I'm at like 41k now and I should have taken care of the brake fluid at 30k. I saw some write ups and wanted to attempt on my own but would feel more comfortable if someone else was around who was familiar. Even w/ the oil change which should be straight forward as well but I've never done before. I got the filter wrench, the oil filters and the rhino ramps. Let me know if anyone would be up for that in the near future.

Oh man, now i'm starting to get worried, everyone was making sound really easy. I'm not to mechanically intelligent when it comes working on cars. Hopefully we can put our heads together and get this done.

Shahryar, where did you get your alignment done?

^ the alignment was done at IAG Performance. The rust, etc is what made it really hard for me. If I had done it right when I got the car I Think it would have gone much easier
