Cutlasskyle

My name is kyle . My first car was a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass S . Fairly low miles still I put 13000 of the 56870 that are currently on it . I quit using it as my daily 9 years ago ...got smart and didnt wanna trash it . Loving that decision now . The car came with everything but the original wheels and ashtray . Now Im trying to upgrade the original brakes 4 drum no power to front disc. Was somehow lucky enough to stumble into someone upgrading a 442 to after market brakes and gave me a lot of the original parts to assist me in the swap . Figured Id try a cutlass forum in case I needed knowledge durinv this swap . Any help would be appreciated .

Looks like a solid car.

Nice ride. Welcome. While you have it apart check the control arm bushings. Now's the time to change them if necessary.

I plan on replacing the bushings . Anyone got suggestions on some good quality ones. I was looking at energy suspension kits .

Many of those kits have cheap, low quality parts so I would recommend buying separate parts from Rock Auto or your local auto parts store. Moog has always been quality parts and reasonably priced.
