Need some advice on changing front struts

[Steves94Z28]

Hey everyone, I just purchased both right and left complete strut assemblies including control arms from a newer model Camaro to put on mine since my passenger side was pretty wore out. I am planning replacing both sides just to be on the safe side. Can I get any recommendations or suggestions, what to look for or not to do before I begin the process. Any suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I haven't done control arms, but struts are pretty easy to do as long as you have everything you need which you should since they are complete struts. Only stupid mistake i made doing mine was putting them in backwards. If you do that the strut will be positioned a little more forward than it should be and you'll have trouble starting the bolts on top. Pay attention to how the upper control arm is oriented when you remove the struts and you wont have that problem.

I used this write-up to do mine: http://www.ls1howto.com/?article=6
