15 years on the STOCK front shocks = a shit ton of rust on this damn nut that holds the spring perch on. Kill me. I got one off with a dremel and cutting wheel, still one more to go...

:) having the lt1s is soooo much fun huh:cool: but when your all done with your car and are just driving it around and you go to WOT its worth every second, every sweat drop and every blood cell lost :rockon:

Thats why I never messed with trying to reuse the upper strut mounts. I did one time before and couldn't get the bolt out of the steel sleeves in the mount. With AFCO's you don't even use a stock style upper strut mount and all required mounting parts come with them.
