If your not to hung up on having the high spring rates you want, the Bilstein PSS9s will work for you. I have them. Good enough to drive each day and if you really want to up the spring rates you can do that to. And they won't break the bank. Other than that you'll want to go into 2k+ territory and that makes no sense to me for a DD car that is not going to see the track.

I need some oooooils. I'm on the fence of Mobil 1 high mileage 10w-30, or AMSoil. I also need to find some spark plugs locally. Consensus is that I should go with NGK BPR7ES. Yes? And anywhere to get a magnetic oil plug?

So I'm installing my coilovers today and I wanted to know if anyone had any recommendation for a shop to do a 4 corner balance and alignment. Hopefully south king or maybe the east side

I already got Mobil 1. I was supposed to change the oil today with the help of a buddy. Who never called me. So, I finished cleaning up the battery relocation. Tomorrow.. I gotta put the rest of the car back together. Haha.

picked up a comment while I was at work...



Just went to that Garage Today, The Shop was clean and the owner was a really cool guy.
The $10 shop fee was worth the recycling of my old oil and being able to check out the underside of the car while up on the lift alone!
I will come back here again, definatly recommended.
The owner also said he's have had forum meets in the past there for installing parts.

Mobil1 oil has been shown to be inferior oil....

BradPenn, Amsoil or the like will be a better fit. Also, high zinc is VERY beneficial for high-heat turbo applications (aka: Ours)

Gah. I've already bought the oil, and made a stink about some stupid deal they had that they didn't give me, took the oil back, got the deal.. I haven't changed it yet, but I don't want to start the process over.. Haha. Now, what about for filters? I bought a M1-110, some people say M1-108 which is more shallow. What's the deal with that?
