me and some guys at work fixed my drivers window. I replaced the stripped regulator and ran into a problem where it wouldn't go inside the rear seal, it wouldn't seat properly. Had to hold window up all the way while pressing back and seat it down in the trim all the way to the bottom. Almost broken the glass lol. I need to get it retinted because some got scraped off. I was too pissed at the window not going in the other day to care.

Monday I installed Upper strut bars in the front and rear, installed a new shift boot, and type-r **** on my new short shifter. Today I installed half of my Energy Hyperflex Bushing kit, Eibach Pro Shocks, Tein S-tech springs, and Wicked LCA's. It turned out sick!

did you do the suspension parts/bushings yourself or have a shop do it for you? I plan on getting a skunk2 coilover set and skunk2 front/rear camber kits and some energy suspension bushings, but I don't want to get the bushings and have someone charge me a rediculous amount. If you got it done at a shop how much did it cost. If not, how much do you think it'll cost? thanks

alot of the bushings you can do yourself with a serious amount of elbow grease and specific tools, but it isn't easy and will eat up alot of time. I did all of the bushings myself for my 98 GMC 4x4 in my driveway over the course of a weekend. If you have any mechanical inclination, it is possible.

ya you could do the bushings yourself BUT if you dont have a press then i would sugest taking the parts into a place that can press the old out and in with the new.... shouldnt take long at all. luckely my dad has a nice press so i do all my own. tho i did just find out that my one strut bushing isnt to bad but while trying to take off the control arm i found the bushing on the subframe is seized and after i found that out i desided to put it back together and leave the old bushing since it wasnt neccesary to replace just yet. to much hassle than i want to deal with right now when i drive that car every day!
maybe this summer ill drop the subframe. and replace them both.

Pulled off my DNX muffler and threw my friend's Magnaflow on it... it sounds so much better now (a quiet (very quiet) hum until about 4k rpm and then it picks up a little)... almost makes me sad I'm selling the car[8D]
