Please do not forget that these new bushings will have to be pressed out and then in. So figure that into your cost or you could do it like I do...myself.
Deff, thanks for your time putting writing these up! Do you have pics of your ride up? Im gonna try and search for them.

I wany to congradulate you on making a coherent post full of proper english. You've set yourself far above your fellow '08 members.

Looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you. Good luck. Looks like a fun project.

LOL, i cant wait to get fully working on this project. Right now I've been taking a look at the suspension parts, making a list of what I need to order. Trying to track down those little things that are missing, and making a budget for myself, otherwise ill be going crazy with it. Right now I don't want much, just a fun, drivable car thats lowered, tinted, functions as it should, gets me around town and some travels, a nice stereo...I don't seek much

if everything is right on the engine and no mods or Wots then, you should get between 28-35MPG with circumstances.

LOLZ you'll get great gas mileage just take care of your engine. The first thing i would do is get A REAL INTAKE unless you already did :-). remember Breathing is and important part of performance and fuel economy. And also you should look into a lightened flywheel and clutch just cause you never know what someone else put in it/did to it. Nice car though looks good not a fan of yellow cant wait to paint mine this summer .
