All other respects of the handling are crisp and sharp.

you know it wouldn't surprise me if this issue is related to your CV axle and sense your already replacing them... it might fix this issue.

Question: Good middle of the road rotors to use; Drilled, slotted, aftermarket or OEM and what brand for both shoes and rotors might you all suggest.

don't bother with drilled or slotted rotors if your looking for middle of the line rotors they don't do muchand the drilling and slotting will make the rotors unserviceable so if they warp your SOL

Question: Replace just the boots or go for remanufacured or new CV shafts? Brand to look for?
Question: Are the shafts for front left and right the same, and same question for rear as well?
Question: Best to replace all four at the same time or just the front. The rear boots look good and are undamaged.

DO NOT GET YOUR AXLES REBOOTED its a quick fix that can lead to hard to isolate problems. Remans are your best choice and they are cheep! (thanks to the replacement volume) yes the right and left are the same and no the front and back are not. the main difference is that your front axles need to be able to turn with your front wheels. as far as brands they are all the same

I still have the original radiator and want to keep the car as stock as possible, but will take advice on rotors as this is something that does not require modifications to the rest of the car to imploy.

I know these might seem simple questions, but I have searched around a bit and parts people are a bit confused about the model and I want to supply my mechanic with parts to keep the prices down. And that brings me to my last but not least question:

Prices for parts, where to get them all, rock bottom but quality counts.
Prices for Labor to expect:

I trust him, up to a point, you can never tell if your mechanic is trying to wring a bit more out of ya cause yer car is the only SVX he ever has to work on, and he rarely gets the chance hehe.

NAPA is usually a good source for cheap but reliable parts as far as the labor price get a quote from them and call some other shops in the area... they should be able to give you a phone quote that will let you compare prices
just to let you know tires plus will prob. have the cheapest labor rates and for some thing like brakes and CV shafts any monkey can do it... even a greasy one...
