Need some advice on maintanaice

Ok guys well forgive me if i make some kind of stupid mistake i got a couple of beers going after the superbowl. But straight to the point im gonna do a through maintanace on my car when taxes come in. For the most part im more focused on suspension more than anything cause i can go over a road deflector and i feel like i hit one of the biggest pothole on the road. Now my question is will the bushings from an evo fit an 04 ralliArt. I went looking in to struts and i found they were $96 a piece which i though was kinda steep but anywAys, i get alot of vibration when i brake witch i think is a combanation of warped disc and bad struts. Im going to have my car painted, right now its lighting yellow and thinking of a candy burguendy but ill make a separet thread for that..

Again keep in mind a couple of beers so not very focused at the moment but any input would be appreciated

If your steering wheel shakes when braking you need to cut or replace your rotors and brakes. Thats what I would do

Do some reading on cross drilled discs, it may change your mind about getting them.

I agreeing with 2006 RA they tend to heat up and crack. I recommend slotted over drilled

Well thanks guys thats something i dint know i figure that them being cross drilled That they would work better thru heat, im gonna have to research in to that. But anyways thats not the priority, im more concerned with the suspension (struts cv boots and bushings). I can get the rotors machined with new brake pads and ill be alright for quite some time.

Yes youll be fine with pads and rotors cut. Struts cv boots and bushing dont need changed unless upgrading or they are torn/ripped or just bad

Well thts the thing the cv boots are all torn, most of the bushings are cracked and crunshy and some of them arent even their and like i said before the struts are so bad that ill go over a road reflector Nd feel like i hit a pothole. Thats why originaly i was asking if the evo bushings would fit on my car. I mean i know the evo is awd and the suspension is a little different but i figured it would just cause its a bunch of rubber or polyester. Now the reason why im asking is because i was looking in to energy suspension's website and they only sell master kits for the eclipse and the evo. So i thought the evo bushings would be more compateble then the eclipse
