Seems like with spring comes lots 'o repairs on the 'hoe.
Left front wheel bearing: $100
Front rotors: $30-100 (haven't picked 'em out yet)
Front & rear pads: $50-100 (ceramic worth it?)
Fix/repaint front bumper: $200
Repaint hood: $100
Funky brake pedal creak: $?
New hub rings: $5
Total: $485-$605

And that's without strut tower braces, sway bars, new subs, or anything else "optional."

EDIT: Remembered on my way home, I really should flush the trans fluid and I badly need an alignment. Add another $50-100. <_<

A very costly spring for you is right. So far im just starting with the blower motor resistor. I hope that is the only required maintenance i will need this spring.

Ive got close to 2000 in parts that will be going on in the next month or so but I dont know if you consider them fixing parts as none of them are needed. ;)

when it comes to brakes do it ur self not hard at all. Go Bosch"Pads" lifetime warranty like 51.99 or somethin like that at Murrays. So when they were out go back get new ones free.
just my 2 cents :smokin:

Yeah, none of that includes labor, and the prices are wholesale. I have connections, er, a really cool boyfriend. :D

The break pedal creak can be solved with a bit of grease on the pedal pin, cheap.

I have creaky brakes at low speeds but it's coming from the back of the car, not the pedal itself

Also, whats the bolt pattern on corvettes?

That would be lovely, 'cause it creeps me out and causes me to doubt that it's going to stop.
