Once you remove the A-arms, spindles, and brake shield, find someone that will sandblast them for you. Spray them down with brake cleaner to degrease, and paint with POR 15 or other rust preventive paint. They'll look better than new, and will be much cheaper.
You can get a front end kit from PST suspensions for the bushings and ball joints for about $150. You can buy the outer tie rod ends with ball joints cheaper at a parts store than buying PST's bigger "kit". I did not replace the inner tie rod ends or idler arm.
Great resource for G bodys, besides gnttype.org, is
http://www.montecarloss.com/technical.html , and look for front spring removal and replacement procedure.
Sometimes you can find used Bilsteins for reasonable $$ on the board. Good time to replace axle bearings, races, calipers(cheap with core trade-in), brake lines to caliper, and brake pads. Performance friction ceramic pads have great stopping power with hardly any dust also. I still have stock rotors but the Powerslot ones look nice, but $$.
