I am actually rethinking about buying the bumper, because i got a new insurance company which has halfed my current payment. They quoted me for 265 a month for a 2005 srt4 with full coverage. So my plan to buy an srt is back on. I could buy one now but i would like to save a large amount a money for the downpayment. On top of that one of my front brake rotors is warped, idk how the hell that happened, its not like i do heavy braking...

I was thinking about that. But its 40 bucks for gas there and back and, I wouldn't profit all that much for an 8 hour roundtrip.

Maybe if you go to carlisles next year we can meet up and crusie down, because I'm definately going..

Finally got my struts on a few days ago and got the car aligned. It rides quite a bit better. Mechanic said two of the four were blown. I thought all of them were. They also mentioned the bushings on lower control arms are worn and should be replaced, but said it was not urgent yet. They said it is like a "pancake" bushing? Anyone know how difficult that is to do?

yeah, the rear control bushings on the front control arms, pritty common repair, they look like a hocky puck, and can be a pain with out a press, they r pressed into the control arm, nothing serious and really not that hard, but u have to be pationet getting the new ones back in the control arm.... can do them with a hammer and some time also, i have done them with a bfh, and some four by four peaces of wood
