My vote goes to the mounts...

I read your review and i enjoyed it. Thats the reason the mounts came into the picture.

The cusco's scare me cause almost 70% of the people that have them complain about too much vibration and my car is a daily driver and i dunno if i can handle that much vibration.

I vote ALK. In the OP, you were asking about "bang for your buck" and the ALK will definately give it to you.

haha something of a ruff estimate lol

isnt it true if you put on the ALK you need to get an alignment? how much do alignments usually run and can you get a sport alignment anywhere or does it have to be at a race shop or something?

firestone offers lifetime alignments for $130 or something like that. if yours will do a custom alignment, that is the way to go. i did, and have gotten 3 or 4 so far, and they do a pretty good job most times.
