DIY's?
 
I was looking through LS1tech and FBO and found nothing in regards of suspension DIY's.... I am looking for a walkthrough/DIY to rebuild my front end suspension... I plan on removing everything so it can get a good cleaning and painting then replacing bushings, shocks, springs, tie rods and maybe more if money permits....

Anyone know where i can find the info?

try the stickies at the top of the page? search is your friend too... maybe try for a k member install and that may lead into how to take the a arms out, etc. trust me its all here on ls1tech. or just go buy a Haynes manual for your car. they are the BIBLE for our cars, found at auto stores or amazon...

Here's a writeup that I did for the front springs and shocks:

It's on a LT1 4th gen, but it's all the same 93-02

www.ls1howto.com
www.installuniversity.com

Those both have a few basic things. Probably not as deep as your looking for

I have no problems with the Haynes manual....just have to read ahead and realize that there may be better ways/better explanations of doing things. Definitely a good reference book for torque specs, pictures, and ways to get started on projects and worth the $12-15 it costs to get.

As far as springs/shocks, TheBlueKnight has a how-to video for that, a search for him will bring that up (it's in the signature of his posts too AFAIK). Also, the ls1howto and installuniversity are very useful.
