Alex, I KNOW you want to help me do the same thing to my car right?? I still don't have a sway bar period! BTW, do you still have your original 19mm laying around? I need to come by and pick that up if you do. B

We should have The First Annual CO-CEG Suspension Fix-A-Thon! As far as I can tell, There are at least three of us in Aurora. Heck we could have a CO group by for a Contique parts car and plunder the poor lil' SOB! There again, why IS it so hard to find these cars in a junkyard? I called just about every yard I could find and all of them either said plain NO or Too New! Any how, I would really like to meet all of you Coloradons. '99 SE Sport, Duratec ATX(I'm lazy) No mods, still love it! I have speed mud!

Well once school starts again I will be back in Boulder for some time. I love working on cars, so if this get together happens in, lets say late august or later, I would be down. Or if anyone ever wants to get together for some other reason drop me a line. #4559 of 6535 born on Feb 17, 1998 Black 1998.5 CSVT FOR SALE [cleaning house]: SVT rear swaybar. Reasonable offer and its yours!

Most pre98 chassis stuff fits on the later cars it seems. The thing to check on your car is for ABS and Disc brakes...I mean, make sure the car you're pulling suspension parts from is the same as your car. Does any of that make sense? Anyway, I've gotten several different parts from this place, even Alex can atest to that. Somewhere about 20+ different parts from them, cool place. OTH.
