Made a 6' 12v cigarette lighter to a pair of clamps cable

Went and purchased an AutoCraft Gold AGM Battery, Group Size H6, 760 CCA at Advanced Auto.

Then used the new cable and battery to unlock the frunk

Changed the battery and all was good.

Until I drove it and decided that I hated the worn out P-Zero's

So off to Tire Rack's warehouse in Windsor, CT. Picked up a set of Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 XL. While I was there picked up a set of Firestone Destination LE 2 for the Explorer DD

Contacted a Porsche specialist shop in Framingham to mount and balance the new rubber and told him I will drop the tire off today for him to install tomorrow. Well upon visiting his shop one thing led to another and now I am looking at doing the suspension.

So here we go, I simply wanted to start my car and break it out of hibernation and now it's going in the shop for new tires and suspension.

Now I am really confused...what suspension? which parts? He did assume and highly recommend Bilstien shocks as if there were no other choice at his shop. He read of a whole long list of parts and said $3600 parts and labor...

I need to see the list and make some decision...but he said he could get it in and have it done when I get back from a two week business trip. I am so tempted.

This is a stock 99 base with 17"s that has not been raced and will not be seeing track, but will be seeking on and off ramps without slowing down.

I need to get it right without breaking the bank.
