Thanks guys for all your interest. I'll be back at it soon, other priorities crept up that have demanded my attention for the past couple weeks. For Fiero2M8:  Be sure to let me know next time you're in the area...

Blooz, the work you do directly matches the level of technical advice you give everyone. You are truly one of the Fiero greats with your craftsmanship. Beautiful work, my friend.

OKay, okay... I'm finally off my summer of relaxation (yeah right!) and am back with my nose to the grindstone.
Several people have pined about having front suspension drawings done up that are equivalent to the ones I did for the rear suspension. Over the next couple days, I'll be measuring up my '88 front crossmember and entering the data into electronic format to start the process. I'll post the drawing of the front crossmember within a few days, then add the suspension bits from there. Once that's completed, hopefully we'll have the complete picture of the stock '88 Fiero suspension. In an ideal world, that should make it easier to predict what effects modifications will have on handling, but I suspect it's going to be like opening Pandora's Box. Stay tuned!

Hey Blooze, what's planned for the rear cradle?? Fix the original one, or completely make or fab one up?
I suppose the cradle will be silver...
Have a good end of summer.  ------------------

The cradle will be a newly fabricated one, but the final design details will depend on how the planned changes interact with the front suspension. That's why I'm studying the front now.
In a nutshell, the new cradle will have the side rails pushed outboard instead of having them kinked inwards. That will relocate the lateral links further outboard as well, giving more clearance for the link mounts to be moved higher up. As for color... you guessed right... I like how silver gives the illusion of being a lighter, more exotic metal.
