I've take a pretty good look through the front suspension... most of it looks good with the exception of the one thrust arm bushing that came with the car. I even got an extra set of thrust arms so I can get new bushings pressed in when the time comes before I take the current ones out.

I'm probably going to just plasti-dip the current 19" wheels in gunmetal and live with them at least until the tires are done. After that I might go hunting on craigslist for a set of OEM wheels, I'm expecting to pay 300-500 total.

There is a decent bit of oil under the engine... if you link to the oil leak thread I'll check it out because any tips or tricks beyond the obvious valve covers would be nice to know.
