No, the guy delivers on Sundays. He said he'd drive the two hours for twenty bucks extra since he has some people he wants to see down here anyway. Win-Win.

Also, the 99+ control arms raise the car 1/2-3/4 of an inch... "/ Then the drop from before is supposed to be about an inch all around, so I don't know how much I want to put the new control arms on...

It lets me turn ten percent more, the bushings have <20k miles rather than >200k miles, and the ball bearings are probably a lot better than the ones I have now. But raising my car is not a priority right now... I guess it'll be worth it, I just am not totally sold on the idea just yet... haha.

I would be sold on the turning 10% more and the bushings having 180k less miles on them.

190k... Mine just hit 210k a little while ago... Haha. I guess that's a good enough reason...

He really should be buying every suspension component that was on the 2000 Cobra R.

personally, if I had a SN95 no newer than a '98, I'd clone it is a '95 Cobra R...

What do you guys think about not doing shocks and struts, but instead getting myself a set of these Mach 1 front brakes. Pretty affordable, and are something more important than comfort. I'd rather stop and feel slightly more bumps than not feel the jittery suspension when I'm careening off a cliff...
