oh, and be careful at the jack points of your car. The front jack points are sensitive and if the jack is in the wrong place, it will squash the lower lip of ur fender and cause them to flare out.

No worries all. I took the car to my friends performance shop and he looked it over.

The rattling and clunking was my exhaust trying to come down. lol. a bolt had worked it's way loose. That is now tight.

But I do need the rotors turned and new pads all the way around. And my car hates the O2 sensors lol. But the ones that it wants are pricey.

Never did find out what that 'pop' i heard was. Maybe it was a rock or something.

I am right near 285 and Kipling.
Longmont huh? That is were I found my car.

You can take o2's off??? Doesn't that affect gas milage? Not that it matters really with a V8 car. lol.
