Back to "new"
Just had some work done, and the car's back to feeling wonderful again.
New rear shocks, rear rotors, pads, parking brake shoes, alignment and new alternator.
Had to drop another 3.5k into the car, but boy, what a difference those new shocks made.

I'm not trying to be offensive, but $3,500 for those repairs seems steep. Too bad you weren't up for the DIY on the rotors and pads.
But, glad it worked out for you.

I'd verify what shocks you have front and rear. Having different shocks will affect handling, and not in a good way. My car came that way and handled like crap when I first bought it.
