Just picked up my car after having all the control arms, TRE's, sway bar ends and all hardware replaced with the european versions (meyle heavy duty) and what a difference!! Car feels completely new and the ride feels much much better (not mushy anymore).

All in all for the kit and labor cost me a little over $1100 if anyone wants an idea of what something like this would cost to have done. So as of now I have upgraded the entire front suspension apart from the sway bar itself....and happier for it plus peace of mind! :thumbup:

Who installed it? Mike @ Emotion?

How much was labor and parts individually?
Yeah Mike did it all. the Kit was $649 (which he researched and found as I was going to get the ECS kit for $599 but it didn't come with all the hardware or the sway bar ends which would have been a little over $100 more to buy seperatly from them), rest was labor/tax/shipping charges etc. Labor was like $450.

Michael is just the greatest! Can't say enough about the guy. As us Brits would say "he's the dogs bollocks mate!" :lol:

I have 43k on it, a couple of the rubber joints on the lower/upper control arms were split, some worse than others so i pretty much figured it was time anyway.
