Doing the springs and konis at one time will save you time taking it all apart and putting it back together again.

I'd consider the grille very much worthwhile. Ditching the "waterfall" grille goes miles toward making our cars more modern looking.

I'd like some more info on what parts you'll be amassing What springs are you going to go with?

Yes. How much would you guesstimate they'd cost? I won't hold you to it, just curious. Did you look into a group buy of front swaybars or did you decide they would have a crappy cost/benefit ratio?

I would also like to know about the pwr radiator, if for no reason other than to keep as a spare.
