Great post! I have the ROW M030 sitting in my garage awaiting install. Was wondering what else I should be replacing while in there. Your post/pics definitely gave me some ideas of what else I'd like to replace.

Kewl post! I always wondered what my car would have felt like driving it off the lot in Dec of 1999. I'm the type that likes to restore mechanical stuff to new, I guess it beats spending 65k on a new car. I was thinking of replacing a lot of this stuff also just for the heck of it. I have no idea if I'll be able to tell the difference. When I changed my shocks out at 55k miles I noticed a more muted ride. I'm guess if the car had all new bushings it would probably just feel stiffer and a little more responsive. Anyway keep us posted!

Just started taking off my front suspension. I'll be doing the wheel bearings while I'm in there. Will be right behind you on the steps. BTW, Advance auto parts has all the tools for loaner - pickle fork, bearing removal tool, etc etc.

So what was your decision ? Did you go with the vertex setup?

Mine may not be a full overhaul like madmods'. Though it might end up to be. Want to remove and check first and then shop for the best price and order.
