    ok i have an updated list for people who are looking to do a budget suspension rebuild.

    so here is a list ive compiled so far for my suspension rebuild/ update project includes description, price, and quantity:

    Ebay DNA springs 60 shipped for set!!!!!
    strut mounts from zzp 135 for full set, a bit cheaper then KYB
    ZZP lca bushings 60/ pair so you will need two sets of these
    dorman trailing arms 12x2
    mevotech poly swaybar links 3.50x2
    mevotech tie rod ends 12.15x2
    moog swaybar bushings 8.65/pair
    dorman adj. lat bars 36.79
    GMPP front swaybar 54
    GMPP rear sway bar 47
    GMPP stb's 27x2
    brackets for gmpp stb's 48x2 (it might be per pair)

    i am thinking about using HT motorsports lat bars and toe links with poly bushings, but i think those are a bit more pricey then i am looking to spend and again i am making a budget list here.

    next in line after the suspension is the wheels and brakes:

    pre gen wheels with 245 50 16's and have to do larger off set wheels since my cross laces wont clear the f body calipers from what ive been told
    ss brake lines
    f body calipers brackets and pads with gp 04+ rotors
    gxp rear rear brakes
    01 T/A WS6-SOLD
    97 grand prix gtp- flowmaster mufflers, short ram intake, SD headers (no cat), EGR delete, 160* stat, solid motor mount, AL 606's, ported TB, new coils,lifetime warranty plug wires
