Yeah, Johnny, you're one to talk. I'm around here more than you are! Alex, what's new your way?
Darn it, Tim. How dare you have you're own life and responsibilities. jk.

Tim, I know what you said, and I really did understand what you told me.
I just dropped about $1,000 USD on suspension and brakes through TireRack.com. Shopping list is: PowerSlot slotted rotors, aft Hawk HPS pads, forward and aft KYB GR-2, forward and aft KYB strut/shock boots, forward and aft KYB strut mounts, forward and aft
next up: find the control arms, suspension bushings, springs, eng/tranny mounts, and GMPP handling kit. Looks like I just might be able to meet the $2,500 parts budget I put myself on.
EDIT: Oops. I put myself on a 1 grand budget way back when. well, broke the bank on that estimate, didnt I?

so: vendor advice.
WBS is out of control arms. any suggestions?
GMPP and GMPD did not have their handling kit show up when I did a search. Where can I find that kit?
Where do I find Timken hubs again? OReilly, Napa, Carquest didnt have them.
I do, however, have a $500 USD order at ZZP just waiting for me to pull the trigger. Ooooh, I can just FEEL my Colleen sharkin' through the corners now...
Thanks for any and all help yall can toss my way.

Timken Hubs This is the link I've been given before. Dunno if it's the same thing or not. Looking for another link for the GMPP handling kit *EDIT* BINGO! Man, this took WAY to long to find.

that ZZP link is what I'm thinkin about doin if I cant get the entire GMPP kit, but you did find the handling kit I spent 45 minutes looking for.
Is it just me, or do the hubs not wanna show themselves? The pc is having a hard time loading that particular page.

I decided against lowering the car. TBat had said that he noticed the ride had become very uncomfortable after dropping the car. I have a 4y/o girl and 2y/o boy. Comfort is big on me and my wife's priority list right now. Otherwise, yes, I will provide feedback on the set up once I get a few miles on it.
