New in the Face

Just want to brag about how amazing this thing drives now that the front end has been refreshed

Koni Special Active's
Upper Strut Mounts
Control Arm Bushings and Ball Joints
Sway Bar Link
Tie Rods
Axles ,
+Alignment*

Next... Engine Mounts, Tensioner and Belt. Anyone have 'upgraded' engine mounts and are they worth it any as far as longevity?

DON'T go with the Torque Solution lower mount unless you can live with a LOT of added vibration and noise. It will certainly stiffen up the engine mounting of the car, but wow - is it a vibration-maker! I added the Super Pro poly bushing set to both the lower and upper left side mounts on my '03. That stiffened things up nicely and did it without adding additional vibration.
