ABS Problem
Both lights should come on for a few seconds and then go off after the car is running. You're saying they're staying on? You probably have a wheel speed sensor problem, which is pretty typical of the GM ABS used during those years. You can do two things, but it depends on how interested you are in f...

Koni installation
The mod to the shock mount is pretty easy. Just heat up the stock steel sleeve in the middle with a blow torch until it breaks free, then stick the 1/2" bushing (available at Home Depot or Tractor Supply in brass, just cut it to length) in the hole while the rubber is still warm. I know several...

Eibachs
Theres probably a million other places you can buy them from, both online and your local speed shop, and at less than $300. Mantapart sucks.

performance master cylinder
(ericm555 @ Sep. 09 2006,07:26)Q U O T EIf you get a larger master with the same size pistons on the calipers you will have less braking power. The only reason to get a bigger master is if the calipers require more fluid. Not true. Using a larger bore MC will not reduce your braking power at all. It...

Rear Control Arm bushings
The easiest way to install them is to throw them in the freezer over night, and drive them in with a seal driver the next day. The first time I changed mine, I had the same problem, the sleeve was rusted to the axle. I used a torch and a chisel. It took about 45 mins to get them both out. That doesn...

eibach pro kit $226.75
(Decipha @ Jul. 18 2006,12:30)Q U O T Ei was told the kyb struts and shocks were garbage and lose gas quickly I don't know where you heard that. They're better than the Gabriels and they have the same warranty. In fact, I wouldn't recommend using Gabriels with Eibachs. They aren't valved high enough...

Rear Control Arm bushings
You dont have rear control arms. You have a trailing beam axle. Replacing them is actually quite a time consuming job if they've never been done before, thats why it costs so much. Its not the dealer trying to screw you. All you really need to do it is- basic tool set torch (even a cheap propane tor...

What specifically are you looking for? The link to J-Body.tk is the most complete How-To there is, I compiled it from several different sources and tons of questions. Basically-
machine the caliper bracket
work out the e brake system
plumb the lines
bolt it together

which springs?
(92BerettaProject @ Apr. 29 2006,09:27)Q U O T EYou may have alignment problems with Eibachs (I did). If you had alignment problems with Eibach springs, you need to go somewhere else and never even look at the shop you took it to again. The brand of springs you're using has nothing to do with the al...

(HateMyAuto @ May 02 2006,00:00)Q U O T EWho was it that used 6000 parts for their brake upgrade? Custis Walker. Check out his site at www.turboz24.com. By the way, the 6000 has a 5x115 bolt pattern, not a 5x100. I wrote the other How-To posted in this thread, and personally, I found it much easier ...
