Ron,  I recently did the $1100 thing for my 92.  This was one of the best
"feel good" things I've ever done for my car.  Improved the ride and
certainly made the car look a lot better.

To make the car ride better, I'm seriously considering removing my
aluminum subframe bushings (or as Mark N calls them, spacers) in favor of
the Gen III bushings.
