Car looks awesome otherwise man, love it. Looks damn good.

Btw I was running a 10" wedssport with the exact same suspension set up at the same height. No problems at all except still no traction hahaha

I really liked how the 5ziegen's look. The new wheels are sick too. Really nice car man!

otherwise i like it, glad some more people are trying the down and out theory of suspension modding.

There actually isn't much poke they do tuck and you should live in my city and drive on my streets hahaha this is as low as the car can go and stay drivable I still swerve and bottom out everywhere but ya did you see the beer bottle height ya that is pretty low. And as far as I know there is no camber plates for the w-body

And my recommendation is of you are going to get coils defiantly ask for the stiffer spring rate from the company who manufactures them for zzp I think they are westshorefabricators because the spring rate they come with is just garbage if you want to go any lower than factory you will bottom out on the smallest of bumps... I have my stiffer springs on the way I will post an update about how it changes them. But ya coils as is from zzp garbage don't recommend them unless the stiffer springs help a lot the car is almost not driveable

That seems pretty legit when u get it all rigged up post some pics on here or my wall or something I'm interested to see

the tire tread may be tucked, but there's still some good amount of sidewall hanging out of the fenders. that's the part that gets me.

I have like another 3 and a half to 4 inches to drop on the coils it's rediculous I could have the frame on the ground and the tires in the air haha but... It is just not driveable around the roads in my city it gets really cold where I live and causes the roads to crack and have massive potholes. If your grandprix is any lower I personally invite you to daily drive it in my city without raising it I'm still about some function not all form

I live in Saskatchewan Canada hahah anywhere in the states would be a god send for roads. But for the gp the exhaust and subframe hang pretty low off the undercarriage i scrape pretty much everywhere and the spring rate I'm running is sub par (ordered stiffer ones) cause the bottom of the shock "bottoms out" when it comes in contact with the top of the shock tower when I get a stiffer spring I will post an updated low picture post

The hoods are just a serious pain to get shipped to Canada I'm looking at around 500 bucks just to ship it over here then I need to paint it if I can find one local I will most defiantly snag it up or if anyone on the forums posts one I will send them a message I want the SD style hood That and the SD air dam are the only aftermarket body add ons I like

just move to america bro :P

I enjoy the health care up here and the fact everyone doesn't walk around with a gun hahah but the roads and shipping are defiantly ****ty

Polly Trans mount Polly engine mount Polly dog bone mounts and Polly engine mounts just came in along with the long awaited aluminum coolant elbows billet aluminum oil cap and a zzp shirt hahahah I hope she puts some more power to the ground I've heard good things about these mounts

walking around with a guns the best part. haha. i need those elbows haha. when i first got the car. the firsttime i went WOT bam.. changed them everything else was good. theres almost no rust on the car as far as i can tell.

Guns is best part till ya go to a movie and don't finish it... And I just blew one of those elbows on a road trip electrical taped it and them put 3 zip ties to hold it together hahaha I have pics it's pretty funny I should post it

haha thats the american way :P. but mine busted out inside the housing. so there wasnt really a way to do that aha. thought aboutjb weld. but i needed it done right then and there. and the parts store didnt have it. so i called this mechanic i know he came picked it up and had it ready for me within an hour. talk about good service ;D

well. it was illegal to take it into the movie theater.. but that was so sad :/

on 9/11 where iwork ( roofing) there was a memorial service and the guys were hammering away and ****. stapling yellling and im looking at the memorial. the people are staring at us. and i was getting pissed.. the star bangled banner started playing and they dindt give a ****.. like really? were in the union and wont even honor them? i started yelling and **** andd they stopped and i got to be enjoy the memorial ceremony. ( idk why i started talking about that lol )
