Poor kid needs some help.

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?

I have a lot of that stuff, and you would be able to borrow it, however I am in Illinois until Sunday, sorry.

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.

Ouch. What WAS the charge BEFORE they had actually done it?
