And jgold, thanks for clarifying, I did not know they were both that bad, I'm guessing you have a bit of grease to clean up in there as well? If you were closer to me I'd tell you to get the parts and bring them over and I'd help you out with DIY labor.

Yeah - in my pre 18 month old days, I would have done these myself, no problem. I dont really like doing suspension work (I almost lost it last year replacing rear control arms and upgrading my sway), but I would have given it a go. Now, I've got about 2-3 hours tops to get anything done, and my wife is generally worthless (when it comes to working on cars). I'm ok farming this one out, just not feeling another 800 bill, especially since I just dropped 1K on those new wheels and tires. That said, I'm all freaked out about taking to a shop since I dont want them to mess up the wheels. Maybe I'll swap the fronts back out, then take it in....
