http://www.ebay.com/itm/320705449624...#ht_1834wt_714

what do you guys think? how are those brembo rotors? overrated? radiator seems cheap.

get the radiator locally! I cant stress that enough. I work at a collision repair shop and you would not believe how many radiators actually end up leaking or having premature issues which is where the warranty is a WONDERFUL thing.

Try to get parts where you can actually return them if they are incorrect or leak, or broken. I have a OEM used radiator that you can have for free if you want to pick up in NJ.

thanks guys. after reading the horror stories on many of the ebay sellers profile, i decided to save myself the headache and spend about $150 more and order online through advanced auto. i pretty much got everything i need: front lower ball joints, sway bar link, spark plugs, wires, rear rotors and pads for $555 with the online discount code. Only thing i didn't get was the rear pass window regulator. I'm thinking I avoided a ton of headaches dealing with ebay dealers. once again, thanks guys.
