Default Rejuvenation Complete!

Orgy of spending over for the time being. Over the past couple of weeks I've done the following -

1. PSS10 Install + alignment/corner balance
2. Walrod Bushings
3. Sway bar bushings
4. FD Golden Rod
5. FD Stage II
6. 45 K Mile Service
7. Drain/Replace all fluids (oil, trans, diff)
8. Motor mounts
9. SS Brake Lines

I have to say the difference is pretty astounding. No more harsh, jiggly worn out suspension, and the walrod bushings seem to have cured the 55 mph shimmy.

A big thanks to Darin at West End Alignment in Torrance for his great work (and prices).

Sounds VERY familiar! Enjoy all your excellent upgrades. Oh, what alignment did you use?

What did the ss brake lines do for the performance and feel of the brakes?

How many miles has your car done before needing this work?

To answer some questions, I had 41772 approx miles on the car when I performed this work. The car was in good shape but just felt tired in the suspension. The SS brake lines firm up the brake feel I think. Brakes are a bit more responsive I think, at least IMO, and less spongy. I also had the fluid changed so that might have had something to do with it too.
