Default *skip*
not worth it to install (and pay to install if you're not doing it yourself) and then find out there's issues with the dampers, or the springs are too soft.

Default I'm expecting a call from a friend at a dealership about a new sport suspension. I still
don't know how much it will cost. If you're interested, I'll let you know when I find out.

Default Uh... He means the springs and shocks (and possibly the sways.) Why the hell
would he be buying used control arms? The arms on a car with the Sport package are exactly the same :P
