No. G-bodies shared their front suspension with S10s of the same era.

Use aftermarket upper and lower-by the time You buy and install, go for the improved handling.

You can put the spindle on your control arms if I'm not mistaken. The 2wd blazer Xtreme came with big rotors and dual piston calipers. They need a little bit of tweaking but pretty much bolt in. These spindles have a more expensive bearing to replace but accept an even larger Camaro rotor and caliper. Look on g-body sites for more/better info...this is just a short summary that is probably not very accurate.

I like: www.montecarloss.com & www.maliburacing.com. There are dedicated Regal/Grand National sites as well as the gbodyforum.com
