finally.... took two days, and two calls to a parts distributor. I'm not sure about this vocabulary, but both bushings in my front drivers side upper control arm (?) were shot and had to be replaced, as were both bushings in the rear passenger lower connecting something or other. There was a butt load of play in both joints, as well as strange sounds and chunks of things. Also, when we took it to the alignment shop, they informed us that I had about 1* of toe-out on both rear wheels, but they said most likely this had been like this for a while, and I could wait for a while to repair it, as long as I dont mind some accelerated wear on the rear tires. Brian, the guy that was helping me (read: doing most of the work) said it can be shimmed whenever I wanna do it, but it'll be an all-day project. So that's on the agenda now.

Anyway, it's obviously a HUGE difference. Very happy with the tokicos and the H&R Sports so far. It looks great too, although I noticed the lowering made my 17's seem a little smaller... strage. Anyway, I'll post pics tomorrow. :thumbsup
