I have not been able to talk to the mechanic yet, just the receptionist <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />.. She listed a whole slew of parts that were rusted badly, I really need to look myself.. One thing I think she said was the control arms <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />.. I will talk to the mechanic this afternoon and figure it out exactly, they are pricing up the repairs.. I know that it will be way more than I should pay. Thanks for the quick response and I will update with what I hear from the mechanic.

Went by the shop, they jerked me around until I just asked for my keys and left. They charged me $35 for a 'smoke test' to tell me "the pipe that goes from your manifold to the exhaust is broken, we can replace it for ~$200".. I never was able to talk to a mechanic, and she told me that they can only use their supplier's parts (read OE) in order to guarantee any of the work, which was going to cost over $200 for the shocks and another $200 or more for the bushings.." She also was trying to advise me against Racho's beacause they are for "going off road, like when you need to drop your wheels down into a rut.." (offroading.. what's that.. I guess I just put 31" tires on for the way they look <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />) So I am for sure going to buy the header and go ahead with Ranchos and bushings from Indy <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> If anyone has anyone has any advice for the install, let me know! Thanks again Matt for the help. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
