Hi Len,

I did this last year same time. Here is what I choosed :

- Brembo slotted rotors (purchased the solid and had them slotted locally) $65.00/each+$25for slotting
- Stainless steel braided brake lines (Stillen) $119.99
- upper control arm bushing (make sure they are green as the blue are softer) $43.00/each
- lower control arm (complete as no bushing available) $280.00/each
- cut the top half of the splash shield $0
- new stabilizer bar bushings $7.50/each
- Stablizer link $29.00/each
- tie rods $43.00/each

I also replaced the springs to H&R ($250.00) and Bilstein shocks (cca. $760.00 for the 4pcs)
also the rear stabilizer bushing : $6.00/each

I put the prices for your modell (CSI). Only a few items are different such as stabilizers and a few bushings.
I did all of the work with a help from my friend and was about 2 days work for us slowly. We could have done it faster, but I was in no rush !

if you need any help, E-mail me and I'll help you !
