Back on the road

Got the following installed:
  • New rear suspension arms
  • New rear sway bar links
  • New front sway bar bushings
  • New drag link
Also got the car emissions tested and registered so she's officially mine. Noticed a couple of other minor issues:
Intermittently it misses, based on the way it's doing it, I think it's plug wires
Every once in a while there is a groaning from the power steering. Likely replacing the filter will fix this (which I already have)
I also ordered a set of #3 front spring pads so that I can raise the front of the car about 10mm. Eventually I might get Sportline springs, but I'm going to give the H&R's a chance. I also got a set of #2 pads for the rear. Currently the car has #1 in the front and #3 in the rear. I'm going to put the #3's up front, and see if I need to add the pads on the rear to level it.
Other items on the todo list are:
  • Brake fluid flush
  • Coolant flush
  • Shocks
  • Alignment
Cost: New spring pads: $60
