decisions, decisions

[injendsm]

after much thought, i have decided to stick with the gtp. when i sat down and looked at my options, it was plain to see that it would be much cheaper for me to pay off the gtp and make it fast versus buying a whole new car. granted, i want something that handles better but i know of more than a few people with 4 door grand prix's with suspension mods similar to what i was looking at who have nothing but good things to say with the way the car handles after putting those in place. i think i'm going to get my suspension taken care of first and then go from there. i'm planning on....

-selling my 18's and picking up a set of the 17" mustang rims from my photoshop thread
-upgrading my current front brakes to 12 inchers from an f-body
-lowering the car with GMPP springs and Koni shocks
-putting in some sway bars
-upgrading the tubular trailing arms

after that, my engine will be getting some treats in the form of higher ratio rockers, either ported exhaust manifolds or headers (haven't decided which yet because i don't know how fast i want the car to be), an intercooler, and a modular pulley system with my pulley size dropped down as far as i can without getting any KR.

Are there any companies that make full coilovers for your car? That would be my suggestion over shock/spring combos. Sounds like a good plan though, I always did think them cars were seghsy.

Sounds good, if your car is not paid off ofcourse you will loose alot of money if you try to get rid of it now. Good choice.

there is one company and their coilovers are slightly more than the spring/shock setup; the only thing keeping me from getting those over the springs/shocks is the drop. i don't want to be too damn low like i was in the eclipse so i'm sticking with the springs since they only drop me an inch.

haha, i'll trade you it for the srt4 if you want :lol: but seriously, once i get the exhaust in and swap my spark plugs (i'm getting a misfire in cylinder 1 ::owned:: ), i'll let you drive it. the full exhaust setup should wake the car up quite a bit so it'll be a different beast than when you drove it last.
