    I have an 02 GTX i was wondering what kind of suspenion upgrades these came with? I know it has slp front and rear STBs Other than that not sure what my car has on it. All i know is this thing handles immensly better than the 3 other GTPs ive had in the past. WAS there a package that was put on the gtx by SLP or something? Is there a way to tell what i might have under there? Bought the GTX a few months ago so im not sure what all is done to it? But I am very pleased with how it feels. Perfect combo of ride quality and cornering ability in my book. I have a few ??s about what may have been done to this car. Itd be really nice if there were a few Tulsa boys around have i might be a to show it to and pick their brain. Know anyone? Ive been out of the GP scene for several years now but with my new toy im getting all interested again!

    i have a feeling the parts on it are aftermarket. the GTX package didn't come with anything suspension related that i know of.

    I go up to Tulsa every now and again, family there. OKC is where most of the guys are anymore.

    Bio is right tho, maybe got a upgrade on the front and rear sways and it may have a top strut bar across the motor but that would be about it for SLP add-ons and likely those would have to be added by the original owner during the build. Upgraded sway bars and a top strut tower would take care of alot of body roll thru quick turns, but its still gonna handle like crap compared to road/track cars. Also, most of the time you will see the owners modding them themselves if its has extensive suspension work, very few got good upgrades during the original build.

    hmmm good point there. Yeah i have never tracked it. YET! I thought maybe it might have gmpp springs or something. I cant find anything stamped on the springs or struts. Plus the springs have that rubber coiling going around the top of them like all oem springs ive seen. Most dont bother to put these on the from my experience. AM I on right track? Is there a way to measure or anything to know for sure? Anything in particular to look for on the springs or struts that would give it away? What everthey are im happy with them at present tho. Seeing how its my wifes dd right now. hopefully next year it becomes my full on project.
