new suspension and brake components installed pics.

well other than a little problem here and there, 2 cars breaking the same day, a wheel bearing FUSED to the wheel stud which can be seen here. i had to cut it off and it scorrd my stud a little. nothing i can do now.

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=297697

im overall happy with my stuffs.

so at a total cost of around 400 CAD$ in parts for struts, shocks, springs, swaybar endlinks, brake lines and hoses, calipers, caliper bolts, wheel bearings, and balljoints, plus 320 CAD$ labour to install ... i think thats it..











and i know the crossdrills are going the wrong way, they were uneven a little so i just flipped them sides for a while.

Those are not directional vane rotors so it does not matter which wat the rotors turn with the drill pattern. They can be flipfloped without any harm.

You can not run directional vane rotors backwards. Pad debris and other debris will bunch up inside the cooling vanes if they are angled, yours are straight so the debris can escape no matter which direction they turn.

S-Series truck front shields, two wheel drive, are the same as the F Body.
Nice work.
Cheapest may be to just weld metal over worn out spots on current.
