Did a few modifications to my Firebird over the summer to the suspension. replaced all the old worn out parts and bushings, plus added a few performance parts as well.
Pictures of the car before and after sitting on the ground. Parts list used on the car. I was right around $1600 with doing the work myself with the help of a couple friends.
The only real problem i had was with the Moog tie rods being to long on the driver side, which I cut about 2 inches off that tie rod.
A few pictures below along with some links to video i did on them.
Takes the bumps like a champ and handles wayyyy better
Let me know if you have questions or comments

Very nice. Hefty parts list but imagine if u payed for labor. Im sure it drives nice and tight now, did my front end a few years ago and what a difference it made.
Need to get my paint lookin good again like yours is.

 

Looks good one day.love to have upgraded suspension on my iroc

 

Wow, nice work, I'll check out the vids while busy at work lol

 

Thanks
Drives like "new" Definitely worth it!
Yeah, the paint turned out awesome.
Better than I had planned.

 

Its worth it for sure.
Drive sooo much better

 

Thanks! Took it about all I had to finish it in 90+ degree heat
Thanks for checking out the vids too
Helps the channel for sure

 

I watched the vids, great content. I am curious about the jegs subframe connectors. I would have liked to see you installing those. How do they fit? And would they clear dual cat y pipes? Can they be welded easily instead of bolt on? If you got any pic please feel free to share. Thanks for taking the time to share the content.

 

The Jegs Subframe connectors can be welding in... dual cats may be and issue.....i have a MAC test pipe was wide open in the front area
Also thanks for watching the videos.. Helps out the channel greatly
