Sean, if you document it, I'll make it a sticky in the Suspension forum.

Think we all know how to disassemble the front end so no worries.

Sean, did you have stock brakes before this upgrade?

I remember weighing all of the junk that came off of my car one time and I seem to remember it being close to 100 pounds per side, but I think that I included the stock G-body brakes as well.

You'd be surprised on this board. The experience levels are pretty wide. Jus sayin'...

Taking stuff apart is easy, the hard part is putting it back together! Looking forward to seeing the progress.

You can use the drop spindles on a G-body, but the car will be really low if you use a short front tire. Also, to get the car to look right the rear end will have to be really low, and it takes a little extra trickery to make these cars work well at the really low ride heights. Eric Kenward's wagon has them, his Malibu that I have been driving has them and several others that I know use them also.

Malijuice, sounds like you have the same setup as both of Eric's cars, which go low 1.20s to the 60ft just about anywhere.
