The BB was released yesterday after a day and a half in the shop.The following goodies were installed:
Front Strut Cartridges - Mounts - Strut Bearings - BootsBoth Tension RodsPax side outer Tie Rod end.All parts from IOS ($600 or so as I also picked up some front pads and fuel treatment)
And I added 2 used front coil springs purchased from a good dude on this site. Both springs were broken about 2 inches down from the top.
Needless to say, my car has a new lease on life. It's amazing to me that it felt as good as it did, given it's previous condition. It now tracks and handles like (I imagine) a new car. Thanks to all who contributed to the process by offering advice.

Re: (BadQ45t)
Hey,Bad Q45T,
I got a 97 Q45T. I already install my Tein 2" drop spring on 4 corners. It looks great, but during the installation, I found the suspension on my 4 corner are not in good shape. can you kindly tell me where I can get good pric e for the suspension? I tried to order the KYB special from http://www.memoryfab.com. They have the cheapest price I can find from the internet, but I wait for two months and they still haven't give me the respond... Anyway, thanks for the help.
