V8 Suspension & carrier bearing

     I finally put in the straight pipes on Saturday night.  Sounds
great, and breathes much better.  I can't get over how heavy the mid
muffler is.  It must be close to 40 pounds.

I have 2 new projects:

1.  Carrier bearing:
     I noticed when I did the exhaust, that the center drive shaft
bearing is pretty mushy, which is probably why I hear a rubbing noise
when I accelerate fast.  Does anyone know where I can get a new one?  I
know this was brought up before, but I couldn't find the info.

2:  Suspension:
     I would like to get a suspension set up that would maybe lower the
car a little, but not drastically.  My struts need replacing anyway, so
I figured it was a good time.  I looked at tirerack.com, but my car
isn't listed.  Any suggestions?

TIA
