Ive done some research , and just want to make sure my conclusion is correct .
Im going to do air suspension on my grand prix, and was thinking of putting a tubular upper control arm with a tall ball joint to help with the camber problems and leaving the stock lower. Also ill upgrade the spindle with the blazer / jimmy one to upgrade the brakes to the dual piston calipers and larger rotor.
So my question is does this sound like the proper way to go (on a budget) or is there some better options. keep in mind this will be a weekend driver , not a track car. thanks for any advice , or problems you see in this set up.
 
I just finished doing all of the upgrades you just did exactly. Everything went together great and definitely helped with the suspension geometry .5in taller upper ball joints. I also did it with 2in lowering springs, and all new tie rods and centerlink. My car feels like a completely different ride now.

There isn't really a cheaper alternative, I mean you can always go cheaper. But doing it this way is the right way , do it right do it once!

I also added greasable zerk fittings to the blazer hub to make them greasable. Got them from a boneyard definitely needed the extra grease I put in them
