Looks good man.

However, this is why I switched from DNA's to Canuck's (made specifically for the GXP.) The rear quite literally did not move. In fact, they may have almost raised it a little bit.

I had this same issue w/ the DNA the front settled good the rears still was to high for me. I had SSC prior but ended up changing my mind on lowering it and sold them then immediately..regretting that decision. Will go back w/ SSC in the future

Idk ive never had a problem with them blinking before. The cop just said hes pulling me over because my headlights were blue. So I just said I just bought the car last month n showed him the title transfer paper and he came back with a waivable ticket. It was a sherrif. So w.e. he said they no longer do write offs so i havebto go to court to waive it.

Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered & Rims)

And wahlahhh
20130320_141845_zps49410b01.jpg

ill have pics of my aeroforce mount up n a little how to. I got it from gpona.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

Well UPS came with the goods

20130320_162322_zpsdc50ecdc.jpg

yayy so here's how I mounted my aeroforce, pretty much similar to this here write up from gpona but I didn't use electrical tape and have it bulging out. I left it set back n more flush looking although there is open space between it looks good and maybe if I don't like it or have problems ill go the other way.

This is what you need, 60mm

before
20130320_133642_zps5e7ed850.jpg

I removed the vent with 2 Philips screws n pulled it out. N there's clips that you just pop with a flat head n it comes apart.
20130320_152349_zps6a34c745.jpg

Now I popped the aeroforce in the grommet, pushing it all the way back. And instead of wrapping it with tape to have it bulge out to pop out the vent I just put this inside the vent casing and pushed it back till it was snug enough not to move as I push the AF buttons or anything.
20130320_162807_zps5b855b45.jpg

Now reassemble
20130320_162925_zps251853d6.jpg

This is what I mean by more flush instead of popping out like the others, but you can see that space, it still looks good to me.
20130320_162929_zps131f3340.jpg

now put a rag or w.e you want in the vent and turn the heat/air on to make sure nothing's coming out
20130320_164622_zpsa41ba43e.jpg

put the piece back in n there ya have it.

again I didn't think of this myself, obviously got the idea from another member. Just a little different though!
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered & Rims)

only the driver front was bouncing before but I did both front. I tried getting the backs off n it wasn't happening. So hopefully that won't be a problem. So I have a set of two if anyone needs them! Bought em for $15 from wbs. Lemme know!
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

Haha it's just one of the 7 that are in there! There's still one right underneath it so it doesn't matter to me. I'd like to put it in the middle vent but it wouldn't look right because of the size difference
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

More pics after a wash! Settling pretty nice for the most part!
