OK well I have been at work since that post so trying to read up on stuff is hard.  But I have made up my mind on some things.

1.) KYB Struts - I am looking for a nice ride but good traction.
2.) Bigger brakes - still not sure on what I really want done.
3.) A Arms - Stock
4.) Sway bar - ADDCO
5.) Support Arms - Stock
6.) Strut mount Brace - MRZ
7.) Knuckles - Stock
8.) On the bushings I need to do more lookin up.  But I am looking at energy suspension and Money I went to www.PST.com and well thats not bushings.
9.) Hub Bearings - Stock
10.) Outer Tire Rods - Stock
11.) Lower Ball Joints - Stock
12.) CV Shafts - Stock But can't find new ones for a manual

Money:  why did you not like the GR-2 Struts

Chris: N-Body any vehical that you would prefer.  Also The turbo project is on hold  but I will take a look at it.  intermediate shaft I guess I am not sure what that is.  I really  have not looked at the tranny mounts I will once I get my V6 Case on and everything.

FastLane: I Don't know when I will be able to get back on track with the turbo project.  But hold off for now.

I cant think about anymore parts for the front suspension.

I just didn't like the ride (They told me where every bump in every road was). At the time that I had them on my control arm bushings were not so good. The GR2 shocks had small tubes,so I went to the top of the line Monroe, the cost was very high and the ride was too soft (I didn't trust them for high speed turns, too slow to react). There must be something else out there that's not too soft and not too hard. I'm sure that they are out there, just not sure that you can get them for a Beretta. One more thing, I had Moog springs on. They were stock replacement, but just a little more stiff. Sorry it should be www.p-s-t.com.

Great stuff you got there! Don't forget about all the other stuff(insulators, etc.). When you are done this is going to be one nice car all around. Remember to keep everything from this build, so your insurance knows that the car is something great and not on it's last leg.

**** that keep  telling them its on there last leg. my insurance that i had two years ago thought my beretta still had the 2.8 in it.
I asked them what i was going to pay if i did the swap.
100 a month
i said well i'm not going to do it( it was already in the car and running. drove it to the insurance company  )
so i kept my 20 dollars a month.

now im with another company and i have show car insurance on it. covers everything in the car. right now its at 20k and i still only pay $40 a month for it.

I know, I know, it's just that I lost my car and only got 1G out of it. I put about 6G into it(not that I think that I would have got it back). I would have been happy with some more so I could at least buy a car. All the good Berettas go for 2g's and up around my area. I did have hope that it would make it to classic(it almost did) and then change the way the insurance was set up. I guess you have the best set up (my car didn't look good enough to fit into that).
