When adding the camber brace to my 92, do I need to remove the studs going thru the pivot arm on the a-frames? The ones on my 79 went thru the arm from outside to inside and the ones on my 92 are opposite.

The upper control arm is retained by two bolts per side. These are
inserted through the frame horn, beveled spacers, shims and the UCA
pivot bar shaft. The nuts go on the outside, the bolt heads are inward,
near the engine.
The Camber-Brace for an '89 mounts by removing the forward L/R bolts
and replacing these with the longer bolts supplied by R-D Racing.
Depending on the car, washers may be required between the outer
sides of the C-B flanges and the inner sides of the frame horns. Or
the weight be need to be taken off the front in order for the frame
horns to open up sufficiently to permit the C-B to fit into place. My
vote is that neither case is troublesome.

Slalom4me,
Thanks for the info. On my C3, I attached the camber brace to those bolts without having to remove them; a very simple job. I had more time fabricating the brackets and powder coating them than the install.
