i love my ksports best 50 bucks i spent 20+k and still goin strong lol! i dont see.the point in coilovers i know they are good for track car and have a little better ride but for a dd and a budget spring work just fine, plus evertime you mess with the hight on coilovers you have to get the car alingnd again sorry for the spelling lol just my in put
A: A decent amount of money on new OEM shocks/struts or KYB GR-2's........won't lower my car anymore.....and won't provide me with any better performance in terms of handling.
B. Alot of money on new performance shocks/struts (Konis).........which are a pain in the ass to adjust (well, the rears are), and again, won't lower my car anymore than it is now.
or
C. Bite the bullet, finance coilovers, get $125 turnaround on selling my Eibach Sportlines, it'll lower my car more (if I want it to, which I do), I won't have busted ass worn out shocks/struts anymore, I can adjust the front camber on the fly AND i'll have both height/re-bound adjustability.

But man i was so mad today I went to crazy rays junk yard looking for a part for a friends truck and i saw a cobalt sedan all jacketed up but it looked like it had some mods done. Well it did and there were some 1st gen projectors in the back seat but the idiot who must have taken them of broke all the mounting brackets. i was so mad

Bah! I need to claybar and wax my car asap! And my new exhaust gaskets were shipped this morning, so when I get those in, i'm gonna install those along with my new plus and flush the radiator. Gonna slowly work this 60k list down 
Also, does anyone know of a place that re-surfaces rotors for cheap? My car shutters when I come to a stop.....and i'm pretty confident its the rotors. I have Powerslots all around, but they've been on since spring '07........so they're pretty damn OLD Powerslots, lol. Rather than spend the money to get entirely new ones, I figure i'll just resurface these.

Yeah, I wish I could do that, but i've been at my job for a week now, so I def can't. I figure i'm gonna wash/wax/claybar it that Friday evening, and then do my windows/interior the morning of.

yeah my only problem is that we are in a black out right now so you really only get off if its something important. so i might have to do like you and just do it when i get home. but we will see if i can pull some strings and get the whole day off. i have a lot i wanna do

Oh yeah, Chase.......are we cleaning cars at your place the night before? I REFUSE to use Bealeton carwash. Their water is so HARD. I washed my car there the other day and I swear b/c of all the hard water spots/streaks on it........it looks worse now "clean" than it did dirty.......

Well my first choice would be to have you do all that......but getting there on a Friday is going to be a big problem for me as I just started my new job last week and I work 8:30-5:30 Mon-Fri. I'll talk to my instructor/supervisor and see if I can maybe get next Friday off. Biggest problem is i'll lose a day of valuable training and I can only miss 3 days of work the first 90 days.......
