so i have built up a little list of things that have been needing attention over the last couple years and i am finally in a position that i can tackle a few of them, looking for some suggestions on parts from good/bad previous experiences. any input would be greatly appreciated. i have been reading the forums for a while and value all of your opinions, anyways heres the list:

rear shocks - thinking monroe from rockauto
brake pads- some type of ceramic from rockauto
cabin air filter (only 10 bucks on rockauto, why not)
steering dampner- joetlc.com
front tires 235/40 or 225/40, still figuring out where to buy and if i want to chance the wider fitment
shift boot- already ordered from shiftstyle (they are a pain to work with hopefully product turns out good)
ultragauge- also ordered to get my recurring cel code figured out

let me know what you think!

 

It seems like your on track. I have Posi-Quiet Ceramics from Rockauto on mine and they are great. Quiet and no dust on wheels. I think I bought my cabin air filter (charcoal) at Rockauto. I have an Ultraguage and its pretty cool. Velcroed it above the heat/air vent to the left of the steering wheel. Haven't changed my steering damper yet, but will use Joelc. Many here have bought from them. Another vendor that I have used is AZautohaus, with good results.Hope this helps you get started.
