    Suspension

    We'll I know I have said I want to do alot of things to my car but since my 2 front springs are broke I figured I should do my suspension first. This is what I want to do.

    -Bushings (control arms, sway bar)

    -Shocks

    -Springs (front and also rear leafs)

    -Front end parts while I'm at it(tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm, ball joints, ect...)


    Any suggestions or anything else I'm forgetting?

    I dont have like thousand's to spend on suspension and steering parts but I kind of want to do it all in one shot shere while im gonna have things apart. I just need some brands and maybe an estimate if possible of what this might all cost me. I really need to get this done this year.

    Maybe a close ratio steering box? I know they are found in alot of third gen camaros and firebirds. I had one in my 88 ws6 formula. Good luck.

    ok well tomorrow (today) I am going to get the PST polygraphite super front suspension kit and also a sway bar through them. I guess the only thing I need after that is springs and shocks. Any suggestions on that or should I just get the PST springs and the KYB shocks through them too?

    I haven't heard the greatest of things on KYB shocks. BTW, I am putting a 92 Caprice 9C1 steering box on my chevelle. This will tighten it up a bunch along with a new centerlink from pst.

    Ok here are a few pics. They suck but whatever. Got the parts this morning, went to work, came home and I got the Idler arm on and also the passenger side inner and outer tie rods on.

    The tires are BFG Radial T/A's 275/60/15 in the rear and 235/60/15 in the front.



    The New Rims!!!!




    And the parts!
