That's a good idea, but the whole front end needs to be rebuilt and I need to stay away from any extra cost. I'll keep it in mind though.

Man, everything has 150K on it, so it's all starting to get bad. I did put new tie rod ends on(Moog). The control arm bushings are not poping yet, but I can feel that they are going bad. I know this because I had them replaced on my old 90GT. Also the sway bar end links are new(one of the stock ones broke), but not the bushings on the bar. Everything was brand new on the 90's front end and it looks like the 95 is just a do over.

I would not call that a good price though.

If you look at the cost, the Eibachs are cheap and you can still get your floor jack under your car.

you can use FE3 springs from the 95-96 and they drop the same amount as a older FE3 setup and have a higher spring rate up front than the FE7.

Thanks wicked! Do you know what the GM part #'s are? I know of a site online where I might be able to get them. If the cost is close to the Eibachs and the ride is better I may get them.

I would like to get new springs. There are a few places that I know of that might have them, but I need the part #'s to check.
