    OP lists SLP rear as 25mm. From what I've seen, the SLP rear is listed at 5/8" or 15.875mm. Are they mysteriously listed smaller than reality?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Front 38MM, Rear 28MM....My 3800 is solid as a rock, with the ajustable struts all the way around she handles just as well as any car out there. Great investment
    Not your average grocery getter, but theres always at least two things on the list.... 10w-30 Castrol Titanium and Shell 91 premium mixed with a lil 100 octane racing gas......

    BMR or RATs, I cant rememer but I threw the install papers away when I did it a few years back. Big solid GOLD sway bars, 38MM for sure in the front and rear may have been 26MM but I believe its 28MM. Ima take pics in a minute so you could judge/determine for yourself....

    The bar size I don't really doubt much, its the handling. It'll be okay, but the rear end is ever so loose and the front control arms move all about the place.

    I mean, I know its not the top of the line PORCHE, but it could be the best handling W-body on the road with these upgrades. 5X better than a stock W-body, and a feeling whereas most people who has ever driven my car admitted to it handling far better than they imagined a "quote on quote" grandpa's car would be......

    It is what it is, im just making the best of it....heres some pics

    I would def go with the POLY end links and the sway bushing. They really put the icing on the cake with those big assssss bars. Just remember to put a lil synthetic grease on all the rubber/metal contact...

    And man, you be finding everything in the Junk yard...I seriously need to take a trip to one of these pick a part yards. Honestly, a lot of things arent worth buying if u could get it at a much decent price and good condition

    I got the bars with the same bushings you have on yours the redish clear ones. As far as the end links go which place would be the best autozone? lol

    get moog end links, theyre good enough. energy suspension has plenty of bushings for the sways if you ever need replacements.
