    I began ordering my parts for my suspension. I already ordered AGX struts, SSC springs, Anti-Pogo washers, and strut mounts. Since this was already about $800 I'm going to wait a month or two and start getting sway bars, maybe control arms. Next up is pics of the install.

    Who cares about road conditions. Learn to drive a lowered car and your fine

    If I had coilovers I would just lower it to the point where you couldn't see the tops of the tires thats it. These cars hate going any lower than that

    The GMPP handling kit is affordable and a nice upgrade. I enjoy mine. Look into that.

    Check summit. They have the sway GMPP sway bars as well. As far as I know the the only part discontinued are the trailing arms.

    yep --- which makes the part number you tossed out earlier irrelevant because the arms were part of that set..... though there's lots of options to get around that pesky problem.
