depending on the area and how good u r at searching, i have always been lucky to find capris in rough shape.i had two extra ones, i had to sell to make room.when i get back ill be looking around for parts cars to help out members.i was selling lots of b6t parts back in the day..i also like to keep extras so when something goes bad u dont have to be rushing it...it saves money and time when buying things u dont need.

also after everything was installed and aligned the steering effort has gone up quite a bit... is this normal? i lookedat the alignment print out and everything is green and the, steering wheel is straight, and my car goes straight down the road. it just seems harder to turn the steering wheel.I know its a piece of crap but im still faster...and its 100% legal!!!!!Comment

sometimes a few new parts that are nice and tight will change the whole dynamic. especially with a manual rack.Im not driving a Festiva because I'm poor. I drive a Festiva because i want to!
