Default G-Body ATS/Savitske suspension install.

I am about to start tearing down the front end of my car to make way for the ATS/Savitske suspension package. Does anyone have any good progress or completed install pics?

Thanks.

I did the SC&C UCAs and AFX spindles on my 87 GN that I sold a while ago. Made a huge difference. I can post some pics if I remember when I get home and dig them up. Let me know if you need any help.

I would rellay like to see the pics. i will be documenting the process as well.

Just gathering as much information/reference as possible prior to starting. I am excited to get it done and on the road to experience the difference.

Duuuude! what are ya waiting for?!?!

I did the Street Comp AFX on my car and it was my first time doing anything with suspension. I'd say the process was pretty much common sense. Just go slow, unbolt a stock part, install the new part, and check all of your torque specs multiple times throughout the proces. I used a floor jack under the LCA and a bike lock wound through the spring and control arms to keep the spring from coming flying out at me.
