Stock struts on 1.5 inch lowering springs all still strong and working. Front bumper, hood and fenders look like they were hit by a claymore blast but some dent removal and a coat of paint will take care of that this summer. Still on the original brake pads and rotors with plenty of life left still. Big section of the bolster in my driver seat missing where the seat bet got caught between it and the door and I got a little vigorous in pulling it out. Most of my interior rattles, squeaks and squawks seem to have died of old age or just simply worn into place. Still haven't done the plugs and have noticed zero drop in performance or mileage. Original battery works well even in the coldest weather when I leave the dome light on overnight. All four wheels still unblemished by curb rash or stone hits (I have no idea how that has stayed that way).

gives me hope that i can get away with 99% of what the stealership is trying to tell me lol i probably will do most of it this summer but itll be in my driveway on my own time and dollar. for the throw out bearing, what is that and what do i need to look/hear for? lol and do you have any other suspension components for the 1.5" drop? i was looking at getting coils for a 1.5" drop this summer and wondering what else is needed to gather all the essential parts
