[quote=Detroit_Muscle;5505448
I got the HPM Mega Bit uppers and lowers and love them. I did a lot of research, I also dont go to the track and they handle great. They keep the tires glued to the road.[/quote]

Were they costly, and is it something a beginner can handle without specialty tools? I have all the basic sockets, wrenches, a jack and jack stands, but no specific automotive tools.

replacing control arms only takes, jack/jackstands and basic hand tools and about 1-2hours free time.

This is where I got them. A little more expensive than most but I think well worth it.

No not exaclty, if the radiator isn't completly full the air in the system will heat up what is in the tank more than usual and cause it to get that much hotter and start evaporating.

I need to get a unit to kick my fan on so I can get rid of my switch. Sometimes I forget a little and the motor starts to run a little on the hot side. lol. If my motor gets above 200 my water pump starts squeaking. I know I need a new one.

Yeah, the DCC is awesome. Easy to install, easy to wire, and best thing is I don't have to think about flipping any switches. Even having solenoids and a temp sensor is no substitute for the DCC, because that way, it's either on 100% or off. There is no in between. Taurus fans are pretty loud going full tilt.
