Update:
I got my starter, front sway bar, seats, and rear springs on.I need a bigger tire up front bad because the gap is huge compared to the back.The seats only needed to switch the brackets but I decided to clean and paint them, while those dried I cleaned the seats up a bit.

The only place Ive been able to find it is at LMC trucks on this page here parts #6 and #7 on page 172 on 73-87 GMC/Chevrolet catalog.....http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cc/full.aspx?Page=172

NO I was pointing out that if you need the connector for the windshield you can get it from them.......in the past people have switched to the antenna windshield realized they didnt have the proper connector.....thats all.......if you have it kewl....if you need it that is where you can get it...........

.......by the way where/what seats did replace the others with (firebird)?

They are from a 2000 cavalier.I was looking at firebird ones and also a 2001 Grand Prix gt, they looked really nice but wasn't sure if they fit.I could have made them but these were real easy and comfortable.All of them are nice.

When I was installing the seats and checking out how they fit I closed the driver side door and went to open it from the inside to find out my handle was broken.Never noticed because I never needed to open the door from the inside.I went ahead and drilled it out and installed a new one.Picked it up at 1aauto, it looks a lot better and feels very sturdy and of course serves its purpose now.

The firebird seats look good in gbodys. The factory seats look better than the others and match your interior. Yea 235/60/15 will look great up front with the 295s in the back.
