Well, I'm about 730 dollars and change poorer now - but since I don't want to buy a new car 'till the wifes is paid for I figured it was time to suck it up and at least make sure my car was in decent shape.

I don't know if the Perf. Friction brake pads are rotor eaters, or the cheap import rotors just suck but I need new front brakes so I ordered up a match set of raybestos pg plus rotors (with "VSM" metallurgy lol) and pg plus pads.

My front suspension is totally shot - so I got new struts (just OEM 'cause I actually liked how my car felt when it was new and they are the cheapest thing out there at $70 for the early sport struts), strut mounts, strut bearings and LCA's with the $80 dollars of bolts to put them in .

My blower motor switch melted last week so I needed one of those (Connector Switch), and one of my jack point covers fell off last year so I figured another $18 to not look getto would be a decent deal.

This of course means my engine or tranny will blow up within 6 months now

At your mileage it's money well spent, especially if you're going to hang on to the car for a few more years. Have you done a good inspection of the engine wiring harnesses for the bad insulation? Get the recall done while you still can.
