Pics to come soon, first production unit will be installed soon.
So here is how its done
1. Jack up the front of the car on both sides
2. Remove both wheels
3. Choose a side, and remove the two a-arm bolts, one at a time, replacing them with the bolts supplied. (you could probably remove both bolts, but I did mine one at a time, in case the a-arm fell out or something.......probably not, but I wouldn't chance it) - Now if you have traction bars, you should remove the tension on the bar, cause I did notice that one of the bolts was giving me problems bolting in, cause of the holes slightly out of alignment due to the tension in the traction bar. It will go in, just alittle tight if you don't want to remove the tension.
4. When the bolts are replaced on one side, go under the car, and put the bar in on the one side with the bolt protruding. Finger install the nuts on the protruding bolts.
5. goto the other side, remove the a-arm bolts, one at a time, install the new ones, make sure that the go through the bar......this is where it might get alittle tricky, getting the 3 bolts are easy, the forth one might not line up 100%, twist in the bar, twist in the frame, whatever, use the jack to push the bar so that the hole lines up, install the last bolt
6. Torque down all A-arm bolts first, then tighten the nuts under the car to the bar.
7. Re-install wheels
8. Lower car, re torque your traction bars if you loosened them to install the brace.
9. Have fun.

by SC2SickCredit: Special Forces https://forum.sixthsphere.com/forum/...n-pcm-swapping
Throughout my planning of my manual swap the one question I never had a definite answer on was swapping the PCM from automatic to the manual one I bought for my 3rd gen. I was first told that you needed the BCM from the car the manual PCM was coming from and then I was told the BCM isn't necessary but it needs to be flashed by the dealer but the dealer won't do it. I was then led to an answer that...-

by SC2SickThere are a couple of options for lowering your 1991-2002 Saturn SL SL1 SL2 SC SC1 SC2 SW SW1 SW2 SWP models
There are good aftermarket struts available from manufacturers like KYB and Monroe that can be combined with several options for lowering springs. This is also a great time to replace your strut mounts as well as they are likely worn out if they have high miles on them. This project will also generally require an alignment afterwards as well.
Lowering spring options:...-

by SC2SickA "Deebs" build is a popular, all Saturn original parts, way to make a performance engine for the Saturn S-Series platform. These parts are easy to source parts that you could easily obtain from a junkyard or salvage yard ( car-part.com ) that should net modest performance gains without too much difficulty. This can replace a Single Cam ( SOHC ) or be used in place of the later generation Twin Cam ( DOHC ) with minimal additional parts. Generally a computer swap ( see PCM/BCM security relearn...

Writeup courtesy of Megan SC2
(*please trace the leads with a multi-meter. just trying my untested leads could damage your control board.) My 2002 SC2 power window switches have stopped working, AGAIN! I've cleaned the contacts before which helped but was never a great solution. I never had a way to restore the eroded metal on the contacts, and without fixing the contacts cleaning them was pointless. And who wants to take these things apart again? NOT ME! ...-
