help with parts

[X-Core]

hey everybody.

i need some advice on parts such as:
(1) front calipers
(2) suspension
(3) headlights

i was wonderrig what you guys have used for ur cars.
i can get those from autozone but i dont know if this is my best option.

im not en expert in calipers and suspension, but the winter is ahead,
and i dont wanna slip away somewhere on the road while driving :)

my calipers are pretty much rotten since the previuos owner niglected the car complitely, letting it stand outside for 2 winters...

the problem with the headlight is that i bearly see anything.
sometimes it feels that i dont have any lights at all. maybe its cause
of the original body shape. or maybe i just need a much brighter light?

i've recently changes my fronts and back brakes, but im abit worried about the calipers which are in a pretty bad condition.

also, could anybody point me to a guide or explain in afew words how do i adjust the arm-brake/E-brake cable, cause it's complitley loose, lol and i park leaving the car on the 1st or the reverse gear :D ...old school stuff :D

any help would be awesome!!

thnx for taking the time.

-X-I've read somewhere that some guys in the US are replacing their headlights with ones from nx's that were delivered overseas. They all have H4 headlights and are suppose to be alot better than what you guys got in the US. However I suggest you try installing new globes and checking your wiring first as it would be alot cheaper then getting a set of imported headlights.

-X-From memory all you need to do is remove the plastic surround which acts as the arm rest and then you'll see the hand brake with the cable attached at the rear of the hand brake. There is a nut there which you need to tighten and you just adjust the length of cable there by pulling it through with a pair of pliers. Let me know if you need more info.
