Hi All,

www.bairs.com

is the web site. Pedro beat me to it!

Cost was 299 for each of the t-arms and 495 for the rear-end. Not cheap but not bad either.

Rod,

The car is off the road for the year, if yours isn't you should stop over tomorrow if it is nice.

Joe

I just saw the first picture at first and thought (man...those look bad. He needs to clean them up).

Then I noticed the "after" pic.

They look great! :D

Wow!! those look beautiful!! Almost worth the cost just for the cosmetic improvement alone, but obviously your warn out parts will now work like new.
I like that the website has a very clear and specific price list. MJ

Wow what a difference :eek: !!! What until you take your car to a garage and they see how nice things look underneath. When I took my car to the local Chevy dealer for an alignment, EVERY mechanic was under my car looking at it :D. What a feeling to have mechanics that work on new cars everyday be impressed with a 27 year old car.

Be sure to clean up the rest while your under there :yesnod: . It's also much easier to work on a clean car ;) .
