As some of you know, I have been experiencing some front end issues (
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?threadid=243412) and have now decided to define my winter project to sort it all out
Now, I am not an expert on what I need and what is a nice to have, so would appreciate some help here with my initial shopping list. The car is only used for road driving, with maybe a try sometime in the future on a track, but I want a nice solid set-up for the road. Additionally, I do not want to break the bank, but would like to go with some good upgrades to make things smother and better on my car. So, here is my first initial shopping list. I would appreciate any advice and guidance on what I have missed, and what I do not need. Reducing the cost a bit would be a +
