Suspension Rebuild

A few pieces here....

Purchased the bilateral control arms and links (not thrust arm) from ECS for around $250 and a great shop in Milwaukee did the installation and alignment for about $250 as well. Definitely money well spent and not needing to bust my knuckles. You mileage may vary, but I'm vary happy they let me supply my own parts.

Funny thing happened though, they called and said the "rotated my tires". I wasn't exactly sure what they meant as "rotated" since I had staggered 19's. I did show up and saw that my rears were on the front. I advised them of the issue when I arrived. The owner was in the shop and got real pissed. Obviously they want quality and by him being pissed showed that the ownership definitely give's a F*()

So for Matt's in Milwaukee, I'll be going back. Good guys.

Re: the rebuild, everything seems real tight now but I cringe every time I hit a pot hole. I want this new suspension to last 40k (or until I upgrade the X)
