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.

Just get a PST magazine and order a complete polygraphite front suspension kit $379.00 and you get everything you need its great stuff I put it on my chevelle and it handels so much better. I have like 20 of these magazines so if you want one let me know I could meet you at oscars this weekend and give you one.

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.
