I (with some help from the coolest friends evAr) will be tackling the IRS subframe bushings tomorrow. The only tools I have are basic wrenches and sockets/rachets. Anyone got any of this stuff that I can borrow?

:werd: It took a while, but it wasn't TOO bad. DSP has now determined that the charge for IRS subframe bushings is $300 per bushing. :jester:
