Bits more progress today. This is a budget build, and we're trying to keep it mostly a bolt-together build. So far I don't think we've done anything that is too tough for the average guy. We definately need to drop this thing, a lot. The amount of spring drop is limited som ewhat, we want to try to keep the lower A-arm level, so slamming the spring is out. We can get about 2 1/2" from the spring. We also need better brakes than the S10 is able to give. So here's the experiment. "92 - '96 Impalla 2 1/2" drop spindles. They use a 12" rotor and a full size GM floating caliper. The good news is, total bolt-on. Ball joint and tie-rod fit and taper are the same. They just bolted right on. But, there is some bad news. The pin inclination is not the same, so it forces some positive camber, no good. Also, the upper ball joint angle is not so good, this is from the spring drop. I'm going to look for a bolt on upper A-arm to fix this. Sprindles, $229, rotors, $118.80, so far, so good.
