Up on Jack Stands

Finally got it up on jack stands. Had to go get a factory jack from a junk yard ($10) as the car sits too low for my floor jack. Overall it looks good. Don't see any sign of frame damage. Here are the notes:
  • Front brakes are in great shape, will just do a fluid flush
  • Rear brakes need pads
  • Suspension bushings all around are worn out, torn, or cracked
  • Front ball joint seals are cracked
Overall not bad, expected worse. Can't see if the shocks are blown or not, but don't see any oil leaking. Still plan to replace with Koni's, but might wait for that till I've driven it a little, we'll see. Bilstein TC's are $410 for a set of 4, Koni's are $615, so the Koni's aren't much more than the cheaper TC's.

I also pulled the air filter housing to look under and see if there were any obvious issues, don't see any.
