    So I got hired for a new job so im going to have extra funds moving forward. Im putting together a list of Suspension mods for the GTP.
    I have more power, and i dont want to go any further until i sort out the suspension. 230k miles on uninspired performance doesnt mix well with power.
    In short here is what i want. Less body roll, more predictability, more response.(im not expecting sports car handling but something more in line with your average car from this decade.)


    Here is my short list for getting the car to handle better :
    1. Kyb Excel G Struts
    2. GMPP Sway bars front and rear
    3. W body store trailing arms
    4. GMPP strut tower braces
    5. monte/impalla brakes


    Anything im missing thats a big performer?
    im lumping tires into a different category.
    2017 GTI 6mt 320whp 400wtq , 2012 Volvo S60 T6 300hp of Swedish safety, (Sold) 2019 Ford Mustang GT. 460 screaming eagles. 2004 Buick Regal GS "Gramps" Intercooled, corn fed, ported g3 m90, 1.9 rockers, 80# injectors.

    Moog problem solver lower control arm bushings. I bought new lower control arms from moog thinking I would get them with the bushings, but didn't and had to purchase them separate. it ended up working out because it was easier to install the bushings on the control arms off the car, so the car wasn't on jacks as long.

    and instead of doing the excel g struts, I really like my KYB AGX struts. I would do lowering springs on the front and intrigue springs on the rear.

    Im having trouble getting over the speed bumps with my Down pipe as it is, i dont think i can take it any lower.

    The AGX are a little more than i want to spend. i want to keep the suspension mods around 5-600$
