After MUCH, MUCH work on Saturday, and a TON of help from 525ienjoy and leese, we got the work done.
Impressions? The new brakes are still being broken in, but initial results are good (again thanks to Michael - AcutePerformance)
The new control arms have already had a drastic effect. If you have over 70k miles DO THIS MAINTENANCE!!!!!! The steering feels like new, taught, connected to the road, a very drastic difference.

I'm glad that the control arms made a big difference. I should look into swapping mine as well. Was fun Saturday!

How do you know if you control arms need changing. My car seems to be okay. No noise, no vibrations, still seems smooth. I just want a heads up on what to look out for.
