Do those install from the top (i.e. the interior), or the bottom (by dropping the trans)?

I already ordered the FE3 front links from a parts dealer, so I'm good there.

Current plan is to start with -1.4 front and rear, and monitor tread wear. Might have to eventually back it down closer to -1.0, but we'll see.

The guy who developed these bushings for his v6 gen6 put the whole story on this fourm . Google it. He tells how he installed them from the bottom.He did the r&d and got someone to make and sell them. They are 2 little alloy bushings that replace the hybrid alloy rubber factory bushings. I got mine a few weeks ago , $100 , have not put on yet. I have 1.3 neg camber front and .9 rear. My attempt to get a little oversteer balance. I have about 21k miles on my tires with this setup almost at wear bars. I rotate about every 5k miles.I will not go more neg camber than I have now. The factory camber is .5 neg camber for v6 and.75 for ss. My wear is a little more on the inside.

Last week I had 405 Motoring in Inglewood apply Xpel Ultimate Plus PPF to the front bumper and headlights, and Avery Dennison Supreme satin black vinyl to the hood.

Then this week I had Rivali Paint Protection in Marina Del Rey apply Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra ceramic coating.

Back on June 17th I had BC Forged RZ21 19x10 wheels and Continental ExtremeContact Sport 265/40 tires installed at Globe Tire & Motorsports in Los Angeles.

Then on June 19th I got my first oil change at 1,200 miles plus had a front splitter installed (GM p/n 84486681) at Rydell Chevy in Northridge.

I'll share some photos with the new wheels/tires and splitter once I take some decent quality ones with good lighting.
