-Front ball joints are shot, will replace with Whiteline Roll Center Kit
-Struts are quite bouncy all around, unsure what direction to go with that
-Right rear wheel bearing needs replacing
-Need to get rotors replaced, picked up a complete set of Hawk HPS pads off EvoMN
I thought your rears were sitting decently flush with the rear fenders last I saw your car?

Anyways, try to find some Bilsteins!! You rode in my car with the Swift Spec-R's (same as you have) and Bilsteins. It's a real nice combo.

And look into Rotorpros for the brake rotors, thats what I plan on using, they seem to be good quality from the reviews. Plus, I like the fact they won't rust except on the contact surface.

That's what I thought with Emily's Galant, then the belt went with only 39,000 miles on it
