The whole project took a combined time of about 10 hours. The driveshaft was $254 brand new from GM. I got it from a dealership out of state. If I can find the info again I will post it.

Nice... you documented the process very well, I think.

I'm curious as to what that setup run you- could you do a rough breakdown of prices on the various parts?

Hey ATH, I do not have all the reciepts right here with me but here is roughly what everything costs

Eibach Pro-Kit Springs: $193 (GP through WS6.com that is no longer avail)
KYB GR-2 Struts: $50/each
KYB Gas-A-Just Shocks: $25/each
LS1 3" DS $254 Shipped!
Sophn Adj LCA's $145
Sophn Adj Panhard Rod $110
ES Control Arm Bushings $37
Gulstrand Sway Bar bushings $40 F&R
Ball Joints $25/each
Tie Rods $35/each

I totaled all of it up one time and with tax and shipping and everything else I was right at $1,100

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need anymore info.
