so im new to the suspension part, need some pointers
so i went to change my springs tonight and come to see my lower a-arm bushing in the rear, the rubber boot is torn away. So im guessing i need to a-arms or am i still good with no rubber boot? Second, i was replacing my springs with some v6 ones i got for nothing, cheap upgrade. But i cant because my upper shock bolt was rusted away and is gonna break, so now i need shocks!! I cant win!! A set of drag shocks and drag springs is $430.00, dont wanna spend that kinda money for my budget build. So can i or does anyone make some 90/10 drag shocks only i can use my springs on? I seen a handfull of people using the v6 springs and they said it works pretty good. So if i can match them up to a set of shocks then i think ill be happy. But who makes shocks for our cars?

comp. eng, only makes um for 82-92 camaros. Only thing im finding is the QA1's. Doesnt any one make shocks for our cars. Are my only choices new stock ones for $60ea. or big money QA1's? Or im thinking about v6 shocks with v6 springs. Im guessing the v6 shocks are probally valved a little softer.
And i was pricing a-arm kits. Looks like $650 shipped for eaither BMR or UMI. Main difference is the UMI are adjustable upper and lower and the BMR is not. Personially i like the non adj. ones so i dont get in trouble adjusting it where it shouldnt but for the same price i might as well get the adjustable ones. Is there a big difference or do you guys really dont adjust um anyways.
