Started doing a Series 3 XR upgrade to my series 1 Fairmont.
I got the full suspension and brakes front and rear and the booster and master cylinder al for $150, so a cheap and worthwhile upgrade.
Am waiting for new front rotors and pads as I thought it was also worthwhile.
I don't drive anywhere nears as hard as I used to, so standard late model brakes should be fine.
I thing I would like to show that I did was instead of undoing the bolts of the front crossmember I just took my little 1mm cutoff wheel out and cut the tail off the bolt.
Can't see why it should cause any probs as it's only that length to assist in locating the crossmembers when they are assembled.
No real heat, took about 10 seconds to cut it off.
The lower wishbone came out easy as.
I think the other advantage is the you don't disturb any chassis alignment as nothing is loosened off.
Both vehicles had
ABS fitted but it's interesting the the sensor is on the other side of the axle, behind rather than in front.
And seeing I'm changing springs and all I get the tab to hold the brake line in the correct place. Not that easy to see, but there all the same...
No, I didn't bother cleaning all the replacement parts up...
Anyway, just some observations.
Cheers.
