Willie-

If you can send me a pic of exactly what you want on your car, I can put my car up on stands and take some pictures. I do have some rear suspension pics when I redid my spring perches on my 84 2000 Sunbird. You can search for them on the 1st gen forum here.

Try the "Tore into the Rear Suspension" thread - should be on the second page or so...

Maybe you could get Mike Brewer @ Edd China to give you a hand with your 'Cona!!

I Love that Show!!


Sure enjoyed your picts, it's nice to get a reminder that J-Bodies were here, there & everywhere!! It's a pleasure having you here on 1st gen. Hope you have much luck and miles of smiles with your J's :-)
