So knowing that I'm getting new brakes all around means I can destroy the ones currently installed 8-) .


I washed all the windows yesterday; it's like I got a new car :mrgreen: .

Thanks man. I actually ordered bump stoppers from them last night. Received email this morning, they were out of stock at current warehouse and had to get them from their other warehouse and then ship to me. Don't understand why they can't just ship directly from there. Smh. My rear shocks arrive tomorrow. Prob gonna have to wait a week or so for bumpers to arrive..

I didn't order fronts. Been second guessing it all day. But it's gonna run me an extra $350 or so....plus I need to get 4 new tires as well. That alone is going to set me back at least $600

I don't think it's an issue. If the fronts were going bad then it would have been a convenient time to replace them but otherwise, it would have been a preemptive replacement rather than a necessary one. Given you have other things to replace like the tires, I don't think you should be second-guessing the front struts. Just deal with them if and when they cause a problem. Dealing with the blown rear shocks now and getting new tires soon will not only be things you need to do, but they will also get your Kizashi back to optimal conditions in comfort and traction, rewarding you with the investment.
