The uppers cost about $130 or so if I remember correctly. They are powder coated and have solid bushings. The ride feels great. Nos issues with the bushings. Just need to remember to grease them about every 5k miles. They accept early 80's Chevy C10 upper ball joints, which are 1/2" longer than stock, beefier, and have the same taper at the end. It's kind of nice to get longer ball joints and still have an off the shelf part. I could get -3 camber out of them if I wanted and 5+ degrees of caster. Call UB machine and ask for the upper control arms that Michael Crawford at Hellbilly Hotrods designed.
I got my S10 brakes super cheap too. I think I paid like $50 for the hubs, rotors, calipers, and pads. The pads were brand new and the rotors were perfect. It was half off day at Ecology.
I got the Grand Prix brace off of a Grand Prix in the junk yard. I can't count how many were missing this brace before I found them. I finally got lucky. Not sure how much it helps. I did a ton to the suspension all at once. You can just make a brace out of square tubing and just bolt it to the bumper shock mounts on the front of the frame too. That's what I will eventually do on the rear. I still need to find or make some Grand Prix upper fender braces.
