Front Strut Problem...

[BlackWidowSS]

Ok, so I was doing the LS1 Brake Swap today and throwing on a set or lowering springs when all hell broke loose...

The strut's were rusted SO BAD that on the passenger side there was no nut left to take loose, and everything was stuck together.

I bought new shocks So we decided to do what we had to do to get the old ones apart without mangling the essential pieces for re-assembly...

Well the spring compressor did nothing, so we cut the stock springs off and we cut the top of the shock to get the pieces we needed off...On the passenger side the rust was so bad that we could not get anything to come apart and the Strut Mount/Isolator/whatever all that crap is on the top of the strut all broke apart and was fucked.

Basically everything that bolts to the shock, all the way up to the pieces that bolt to the car were done EXCEPT the upper control arm.

Now my question is...I am on the hunt for a cheap set up for the passenger side since an all new one for ONE SIDE not counting the shock is about 100 bucks...What all year models work with this? My car is a 97 SS...will LS1 style work as a replacement? What about the V6 models? Will they work?

Thanks for the help!
