I had done some work recently and figured I'd post some info. Hope it helps someone out.

New brakes-
Fronts-Napa Calipers, EBC slotted and drilled rotors and EBC Greenstuff pads
Rear- EBC Premium Rotors, EBC Greenstuff pads
New setup is total night n day difference, worth it!

New Sway Bar bushings front and rear
Oh yeah she stays flat! But she’s still a lifted truck-not an MR2, respect it.

Rear 1.5 Daystar spacer and lifted/adjusted front higher
Much Better clearance, got rid of the ghetto higher lifted rear.

Diff fluid front/rear and Transfer Case
Oil change
Clean MAF and throttle body

All in all she has great smooth acceleration, better mpg, better handling on road manners and brakes like a pro! I am one Happy guy!
I'll post pics of her new stance when the rain stops.

What exactly do the sway bar bushings do? What improved when you replaced these and how dramatic was the improvement? (idiot looking for info)

BTW, I would love to see pics with the new amount of lift on there!

Will put pics after car wash today now that it stopped raining- I hope.
The new sway bar bushings make a BIG difference on road, Big! Stays much flatter on the on/off ramps and on highway zigzagging she not salsa dancing. I have a Toytec Ulti lift with Eibach springs so that already makes a huge diff performance over stock susp. The Eibach springs dont give the lift like the normal toytec supplied springs (Superflex I think) but they are onroad performance springs and I wanted to keep that which is why I opted for the Daystar rear spacer and not get new springs. I know off road my flex may be reduced but honestly 95% of my driving is onroad so it's worth the sacrifice.

Hope its not too wordy but I figured I'd do the "why I did..." with the "what I did..."
Again Pics to come, blame it on the weather

(Oh yeah and I recently added the family stickers to my rear widnow everyone (Mom's Caravan Taxi) has since I am a retired/Mr. Mom and my lifted, magnaflowed 4R is my version of a taxi! HAHA YEAH!!! My son and his friends loves it!!! BADA$$!!!!)
