alright, well i need ball joints and new tires.

les schwab has given me the best price so far. front tires are all worn out and they need to be replaced at some point...so might as well get em done at the same time.

so they recomended either of these:

245/50r-16 97v Proxes 4
or
245/50zr-16 Zexius XI-326

they both cost about the same. the rear tires on my car are Grand Spirit Radial HR+4's, which they dont longer make....they are pretty new though so i dont really want to replace em too.

what do ya'll think?

Don't think so. I'd find and alignment/brake shop to do those.

Ball joints are not that hard to do. You can rent a ball joint press, ball joint seperator, and spring compressor at auto zone and do them yourself with pretty basic tools. A couple hours is all it should take. Fairly easy job.
