[excuse the typo]

Alright, well I've settled for the BRM exhaust. Next thing in order, is the suspension...I've seen such a ridiculous price range that I'm pretty scared to make a move in any direction.

The BRM exhaust is going to take a good chunk out of my $1200 spending limit this go-around. It will leave me with around $500...not a whole lot to work with, but the front suspension is awful. Terribly noisy and rough...I'm afraid it's going to do more damage if I prolong driving it in this condition.

Is it possible to get by with some cheapy struts and ride on those until my next chunk of free change?-which will be in a few months. Or...ride on the sh*tty ones until I can get something decent installed?

I put some fifth wheel grease on them and that helps a bit with the noise, but it's pretty bad. I can post a video if necessary.

I'd deal with the crappiness and save for coils. It'd be worth the wait IMO.

Looks like I have a plan then. I'll have enough left over to grab some good tires also...
