Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged

Yea buts that's $65.... For something you could make yourself for $10 -_-

Brackets plus rod ends to connect to sway bar. When I get back from Detroit I'll try and get a parts list. However if you look on club gp coilover thread it mirrors what r.s Hutchinson did.

Yeah I've seen em before n know what you're talking about. I don't really wanna take the bracket off now, cuz then I need to buy them and get a different sway bar. Also, with how these are made, there's a sleeve that the sleeve is sitting on and idk how easy that'd be to get off. You can see the left how the sleeve rests on it so all the pressure isn't on the bracket.

I did however just order 8 inch hypercoils. So hopefully get em on later this week. I measured and 2 inch drop will be pretty much flush with tires. I would have bought 7 inch but they were only in 200 lb spring rate.

Lol you're right, shoulda went bags;) lol. This'll be better than it is now, n if I don't like it after this, then the bracket will have to come off. I would have gotten 7s like I said but they're only in 200 lb n I'm running 275 rn. Then I'll lower front as far as it goes when I swap em over. Cuz then I'll see if I need em for the front too. I'm guessing I won't but we'll see.

So I got the new springs today, will hopefully get them on by weekend. Then I'll go as low as I can n take some pics. Probably be putting on the new rims too since weathers getting nicer. Also, my buddy got ahold of a fender roller so I'll see if they need to be rolled n get it done if need be.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

ffs, was really hoping those original springs were actually 11'' but like i said on facebook, i never saw a listing for the 11'' ones, just 10'' and 12'', thats why i ordered the 10''. Oh well what do ya do :th_shakinghead2:

Looks good as it was tho man (Y) although i am looking forward to seeing what goes when you get the 8'' springs on there.

Thanks dude, yeah I didn't see 11s either so it has to be 10s. The qa1s are 12s. So I'm off work these next couple days, so if the rain holds out I'll get them done. Or go to my gparents again in the garage, cuz I need to put the front sway bar on still too.

If you get a chance between now and then before you put the 8'' springs on, I'd love to see the fronts maxed right out on the 10'' springs. as low as they'll let you go. thanks dude

Most likely will just be doing it all at the same time. N I'm keeping the front on the 10s, at least for now, it can go an inch lower or so. But if it isn't low enough, I'll buy some more 8 inch ones. But it probably will be, I need to dd the car lol.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

So I got the sway bar in and finished with the 8 inch springs in the rear. It's pretty low now. I also dropped the front down more n only have a couple more spins on the lock nuts. So I may or may not order 8 inch for the front. Possibly when I'm working more and just bored again lol. Bunch of pics n looks a lot better.

Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

That looks 1000x better then before! That bracket setup was hindering it
