Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!

Here's where I'm at with this project as of now...
Started by getting the STB off and unbolting the shocks/springs from above. Who's idea was it to put the one torx bolt underneath the mater cylinder on the driver's side? What a PITA...
Found some light surface rust or corrosion on the underside of the upper A-Arm mounting area - I'm going to clean the area and tape off a small area and hit it with POR-15 to make sure it never comes back.
I'm going to leave the lower A-arms and Spindles on the car and paint them in place, rather then tearing it all apart - I'm planning on tubular A-Arms eventually anyways.
The pictures below show how lucky I was to have had the shocks replaced a few thousand miles ago. These things should be cake to get apart and should be salvageable. I'm going to have a shop disassemble them and install my new springs - not worth dying over for the $20 they'll probably charge to do the work.
Had to again cut the sway bar end links in half - planned on replacing them anyways. I have a new set of MOOGs in the garage and the bar and links will be finished to match the rear (red).
Calipers and brackets are also being painted currently. I've got 3 coats of Duplicolor caliper paint on them so far, should be fine
I think that's about it for now... some progress pics below.
And one picture of how the car sits right now............
man this thing is gonna be soo clean...it makes me jealous i wish i had the time/money to do appearance mods on my car

Well, she's all put back together, just need to bleed the brakes!
I couldn't wait to see the new stance, so I slapped the wheels on and and set it down on the ramps (too much work to set it on the ground without a low-pro jack). I'm very happy with it so far!
