[s-cars] front end/suspension repair question

[tony.curran@sympatico.ca]

Chris,

May be it's time for the Bilstein/Eibach reno. Check out Ebay, saw Eibach springs for our cars going for a good price. Whilst you're in there might as well replace control arms as bushes would be well worn by now.

I have a spreadsheet at home with all the parts, I'll send it tonight if If remeber - may be give me a gentle reminder.
