    OP lists SLP rear as 25mm. From what I've seen, the SLP rear is listed at 5/8" or 15.875mm. Are they mysteriously listed smaller than reality?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Front 38MM, Rear 28MM....My 3800 is solid as a rock, with the ajustable struts all the way around she handles just as well as any car out there. Great investment

    BMR or RATs, I cant rememer but I threw the install papers away when I did it a few years back. Big solid GOLD sway bars, 38MM for sure in the front and rear may have been 26MM but I believe its 28MM. Ima take pics in a minute so you could judge/determine for yourself....

    The bar size I don't really doubt much, its the handling. It'll be okay, but the rear end is ever so loose and the front control arms move all about the place.

    I mean, I know its not the top of the line PORCHE, but it could be the best handling W-body on the road with these upgrades. 5X better than a stock W-body, and a feeling whereas most people who has ever driven my car admitted to it handling far better than they imagined a "quote on quote" grandpa's car would be......

    It is what it is, im just making the best of it....heres some pics

    I would def go with the POLY end links and the sway bushing. They really put the icing on the cake with those big assssss bars. Just remember to put a lil synthetic grease on all the rubber/metal contact...

    I got the bars with the same bushings you have on yours the redish clear ones. As far as the end links go which place would be the best autozone? lol
