Thanks Jimmy,

the videos and the people i have talk to said that i could take that hole spindle, calipers, & brakes from the (S10 or blazer Early 2K models) and it will bolt rite up on the cutlass.

The 98-2005 S10 2wd blazer and Jimmy will bolt right on to your Gbody. Some of the guys said they needed to also swap the brake hose and some guys didn't. Ball joints remain the same. There are several threads here in the brakes section to walk you through the swap. I'll be swapping over when it's time to replace my brakes. For some, the slightly bigger rotor is the appeal. For me, it's the two piston calipers and the separate hub / rotor set up.

due to design you are better off using the Blazer brake hoses.

Last winter I redid my entire front suspension & used this video as my guide:

Budget G body Suspension - That Handles!

I even went a little further than what was in the video & did the entire steering linkage. Plus new shocks & springs in back. All together, right around $600 and it made a HUGE difference in how it rode & handled. It feels like a modern car.

Nice ride, I like your style! I'm wanting to do some suspension upgrades on mine as well at some point to help the lazy feel in corners and turns. I'm trying to keep her as original as possible.

As far as suspension parts go, I can't say enough about UMI. As far as what to install, it depends on what you're trying to do with the car; cruise around town or take it to the track.

I had a gut trying to sell me spindles the other day from IG he wanted 300! Tho I was na that to dam much, but he said he did the mods and they had fresh pain on them also. I should have got them but I know I can get them cheaper. I told him I will pay $300 for the whole set up spindle rotors caliper brakes.

Various places. I shopped around for best prices, deals, free shipping, etc. to keep the cost as low as possible. See attached... this is what I bought & where from.

If so, I think you'll be very happy with these upgrades.
